Messenjah, have you ever laid or sat there and listened to your wifes and daughters (or sons) heartbeats and realized that you might have to pick one over the other. Until you have do not presume to preach to me or anyone else about the morality of that third reason. If the lifers had their way even that medical choice would not be an option. Just to underscore my point, I spent a night listening to those heartbeats, both of them skipping beats and in distress, and had to face that choice. I am fortunate and did not have to make it at the end due to the skill of the attending physician, but I know others who were not that fortunate.
Abortion can be a medically neccessary procedure and should be treated as such.
And for the record, I dislike abortion just to relieve someone of having a child. It is sloppy (one of my worst curses for people and their ignorance). Course I dislike religion as well as it relieves people of the responsability for their own actions and often leads to sloppy thinking.
