Abortion after the first term is taking a human life. I very much do care about this. I have given much time and financial support to a Catholic charity that supports underage girls through a pregnancy and helps facilitate adoptions.
thank you for answering. i disagree, but i can respect your answer.
I could never force an underage girl to carry to term. Nor could I force a victim of incest or rape to carry to term. And there are a number of other complicated medical issues that should be between a woman and her doctor.
i reluctantly agree, it is most unfortunate, but sometimes this is the best option.
As far as using abortion as a form of birth control, I do everything I can to provide women/girls with an alternative choice, spiritual counseling when they ask for it, foster care support when the state deems it appropriate, and information and support on adoption.

My question to you Reverend_Hellhound: Are you for the criminalizing of all abortions regardless or circumstances, mental and physical health issues? (Not trying to confront you, I just don't know where you stand)
no.
I think though the difference between me and you is the timeline. i think 3 months is an arbritrary timeline. I look at the development of the fetus, and personally call it at 4 weeks, though i much rather it be 2 because at 4 weeks, things are starting to develop. i will grant 8 weeks very reluctantly because of societal concerns.
Granted this is hard, to me even at 4 weeks. but that is where I would compromise. in the case of medical, psychiatric, rape and incest, or any other out of control circumstances.
