@6production9 What if the mother was going to be the next president or save many lives one day? What if the baby was going to be a serial killer? WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

I am a woman, and I could never imagine aborting a child, but I would never judge another woman for doing so. it's a personal decision, not a political one, and it's an issue of public health, not an issue of morality.

"Let whatever happens, happen". "They may both live" but more likely they will both die. And welcome to the Dark Ages. Motherless children often wind-up uncared for. There are millions of them world-wide living in the streets. "President", indeed. If there really is a situation where it is either the life of the mother or the child, the adult person is the more viable. How very cavalier of you; you can tell that you are a male.

@bestamerica She's a former supermodel

@6production9 Silly boy. I'm old enough to be your grandmother. You know nothing. 

[6production9]

@mmedefarge Yet again, because of my age and sex you think that I am immature and don't make wise decisions. I even asked my mother what she would rather choose. She said from her own experience she would rather have the child live, for it is the rite thing for a mother to do. I'm also so immature that I'm fighting about an opinion to a teenager. I just think you lost a child, and it was either you or the child. You chose yourself and now are trying to make an excuse to why youchose urself

Whats this movie about?

[mmedefarge]

@6production9 It takes life experience & maturity to make these kinds of decisions; two things which you clearly do not have. No, it's you who are ignorant.

[6production9]

@mmedefarge Now because of my age I'm wrong and your rite? We have our own opinions, and it sounds like this has happened to you. If it has or hasn't I'm sorry either way.  For the loss, or for being so ignorant.

[mmedefarge]

@6production9 No. And your not a woman & will never be in that situation so it's easy for you to pontificate. The House recently passed a bill making it ILLEGAL for Medicaid funds to be used to save the life of a mother in a situation where saving her life would mean killing the child.  No one is given an option. Perhaps they've been listening to too many teenage boys.

@mmedefarge That's kind of what I said in my last comment?
