[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alright, I am not exactly sure why I am wading into this except that I wanted to make a point to my fellow pro-lifers, which is that you aren't taking into consideration the emotional toll that it can take on a mother, other parent and older children to carry to term a child who has a very small chance of survival.  Are you visibly pregnant right now?  Think of how many times a day an acquitance or stranger asks you if you know what you are having, if you are excited, if you have the nursery ready?  When your older children are with you, how frequently someone asks them if they are excited to be a big brother or sister?  Now imagine that younhave a less than 5% chance of giving birth to a live baby and a much less than that chance of bringing a baby home.  Could you do it?  I wish I could say that I could, that i could allow my child to die in my arms, but I really, honestly could not.  Maybe in a world where i coukd live i a cave and not see people and be reminded that I could miscarry my baby any day and that longing prayed for and awaited child is destined to die.  And I don't think I could ask my 3 year old to do it either.
