Reflecting on abortion

I already wrote here, more than once, that I am against abortion, BUT I am not against mothers who abort. It may sound contradictory but I don’t think it is.

Abortion is horrific and, excluding rape cases, threats to the life of the mother and/or the baby, babies with high deficiencies, I can’t understand when a mother chooses to end her healthy baby life.

But I don’t have to understand. I also think I shouldn’t have to pay for it (but that’s another question that I’m not addressing now).

I was listening to a debate on the radio about the subject and about how protesters should be banned from the doors of abortion clinics where they harass women who are going to abort. I don’t think they should be banned, but maybe police should be present and avoiding “bad words”.

Anyway I heard the story of a crying woman who aborted and still is hurt by the situation she had to go through. Her partner didn’t want the baby, abandoned her, she was living in a small house, has health problems and not much money. She says she thought about the baby when she ended his life. She cries...
I don’t agree with abortion. I probably in her case wouldn’t have aborted but I am also not her.

Of course there are many cases of abuse. People who abort several times and I think a better legislation on the subject is needed. And I can never accept that the tax payers pay for abortions by healthy women of healthy babies.
