The issue of abortion is just so emotional and on one hand I think it is definitely right that woman have the choice but on the other hand I think it can be abused.
We had fertility treatment to get pregnant deliberately and our baby turned out to have a condition which would have meant it would have had a very sickly life, obviously blighted and unlikely to make old bones. With much heartache we went through with an abortion which nearly killed me but had I continued with the pregnancy, I would have definitely died so it is difficult to say it was a mistake although for years after, my conscience bothered me. We didn't make the decision lightly but considered the quality of life the unborn child would have, the effect of it's many problems would have on our 5 existing children and what would happen to our little girl if anything happened to us. At no time did I think that I couldn't cope if we carried on but I know my husband wasn't so sure but was willing to try if I wanted to continue with the pregnancy.
On the other hand, I know people who use the morning after pill and abortion as a form of contraception and that is just repugnant to me but if they carried on with a pregnancy it would be a blighted life for the child and I think that is worse.
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
