Because beyond being a mom, I am a person, and my own health and life has innate value.

This is part of why NY is a maker state, not a failed red state, by the by: equality for adults leads to better outcomes for all families and children over longer terms.[/quote]

I'm 52.

no longer a practicing Catholic - but Italian . . . So there's a close tie btw the two worlds.

married late, had two kids in my late 30s, early 40s - healthy, no interventions

pro-choice to a degree, as I've supported many friends who had abortions - no judgment

But I did tell my husband with both deliveries that if he had to choose between me and the baby, that the baby would be saved. I'm no martyr; let's get that straight.  But a baby has a lifetime ahead of him/her.  [/quote]

And that's your choice.  But it's not the best choice for every family.

I grew up near a family who lost a mother, leaving behind 5 young children, and her death became a snowball effect that led to one tragedy after another. Those kids desperately needed their mother, who had kept the family stable and sound, and losing her forever ruined their lives (2 of which were needlessly cut short due to self-destructive behavior). Not saying every family goes to hell after a parent dies. But a decision to sacrifice a mother shouldn't be up to the state.

I could not agree more.  Also, mothers should be able to chose whether to have additional children, based on their ability to care for the kids they already have.  [/quote]

Abortions should not be Birth Control 2.0.  THAT'S a slippery slope, folks.

[/quote]

um ... abortion is Birth Control 2.0. that was the point of my comment. [/quote]

clueless wonder - Abortions should NOT BE birth control  - period!

2.0 is a better version, yes?  Abortions and BC are not in the same category.  BC is PROactive; abortions are REactive. [/quote]

whatever dummy. obviously women prefer not to have an unintended pregnancy. abortion is a second-line protection against unwanted pregnancy. [/quote]
