Same thing that happens to all other "rights" DUmmies think we should have.
Unless they apply to DUmmies and liberals, and the way DUmmies and liberals WANT them to apply, they don't exist.
Only 17 knowing she was going to die perhaps she just may have wanted to leave a piece of her self behind to carry on her blood line. This is not selfish, this is the way humans act and believe. Shit, animals will risk death to protect their young.
Now had she been 30 years old with 3-4 other kids , oh yes even the Conservatives would have come down on her.
" How can YOU do this to your family, if you have this child and die leaving the family to raise the other kids, there will be just one more child to find a home for. The children you have need a mother, if not giving birth to this child could mean you have a chance to live a few more years with them, Why take the chance on destroying the lives of the living children for the sake of the unborn"??
Then the old guilt trip, "Science may find a cure for the medical problems in 6 months, then if you wish you can have another child."
Been there, done that ,heard that and much more from loving family members that were more concerned they would get stuck raising my older kids and another new one to boot.
My favorite was a old time Conservative that felt I was insane to risk the lives of my 2 kids for for something they said I could not have bonded with YET.
In that day and age there were no sonograms, the only thing I had going for me was a Navy young Tec in ex ray doing an ex-ray of my kidneys and to their surprise filmed the head of the growing baby. Against all regulations they came all excited to my bed side with the ex-ray and we looked in wonder at the skull, eye sockets and even found the buds of baby teeth moving into position.
Long time ago, I forgave the family's that at that time 1970 had no idea about the human condition and what went on to build a baby. Hell my first 2 children about all I knew was to hear the heart beats of an alien in my stomach, something odd, for all I knew the heart beat could have come somehow from a freaking thing that looked like a rabbit. Yes I knew how the baby got there and had pictures from books to show me what stage I was at, however it is one thing to see pictures and another to have a growing belly that one finds placing a dish atop of the belly using the belly as a table find something inside that belly kicked the dish to the floor.
Wonderful science, My male doctors had the theory's and the experience of cadavers down pat, however at that time they had seldom seen inside a living pregnant woman to watch a living baby develop in person.
Strange this was my wake up call to understand the Church and its stand that the baby's life came before the mothers.
I can understand why some States with big Abortion clinics will not enforce a cooling off period for abortions or insist the patient review sonograms to see their baby's before they are removed as a wart or tumor.
One hell of a shock to see what has been growing inside a woman, this is not a bunch of cells, this is a human being, how do the patients that do see this live with themselves after what is in PC terms called a PROCEDURE ????
