Good evening all,
Sticking my neck out, as usual. My wife, who is a nurse and midwife, has
always opposed abortion as a personal option, without presuming to tell
others what choices they have to make in their lives. Our daughter's 30th
birthday is next week. It is now our considered opinion that had a reliable
diagnosis been possible at the time, an abortion would have been a very real
option. We love our daughter, very much, by the same token nobody should be
put in the position where they have to choose to sacrifice their lives for
others. Ethically and morally it seems wrong, in spite of the virtue
accorded to suffering and sacrifice in the christion religions.
