Re: Conversation Topic - Abortion

[dana tierney]

Welp. You can either say, here is what I think is right, and here is what I think the law should be, which is my solution. Or if you think the law should conform to what you think is right then you need to pick a point on that slope where action by the mother begins to be wrong. I think there is an argument to be made for the point where the harm to the child outweighs the benefit to the mother. Identifying that point though...would be very hard to legislate.

You can say she should not use drugs, but there you get into trying to distinguish good drugs versus bad drugs. I used to have to take Synthroid due to thyroid problems. You should have heard what some woman said to me about taking drugs while (obviously) pregnant. But in fact the Synthroid was important to me but *vital* to the baby. She just did not have enough information, and I don't think anyone outside a pregnancy can, really.
