I still see this abortion thing as mothers triage. The law gives her the right to terminate that human life with certain limits. I can not bring myself to conclude that is anything but a human being in there. Arguing about the “start of human life” seems a rationalization to me. Emergency responders have the same right as a necessity in an emergency with the terribly wounded. Self defense can include lethal outcomes. Women have this right for the unborn. Our society decided so. Okay. I’m fine with that. Dealing with the literal humanity of the decisions explains the stress resulting among first responders at a disaster that requires triage and anyone who takes a life. No less so for the woman involved.

My comfort level with abortion happens to be directly proportionate to the necessity of the abortion. A woman whose health is at significantly greater than normal risk, a rape or incest victim has my unequivocal support. At the other end of the scale a woman having an abortion to help her career makes me want to weep for the lost life. How I would like my tax money used goes right with this comfort level.

Lets not lie to ourselves. Calm understanding of two facts-It’s a human being in there and yes, a woman has the right.

And why do you think it’s your business to render judgment over the decisions a woman makes about her own body?
