Should you think about your duty, or about the consequences of your actions? Or should you concentrate on becoming a good person?

That's a stupid excuse. BBCode is only interpreted after you hit submit.

On the bright side, if we all turn off BBCode, Advocate won't get notified when we call him an idiot.

- Protection of the mother’s health is considered a justified reason to abort.
However:
- That definition of health includes mental health.
- In other words, if the woman doesn’t have an abortion, her mental health might be in jeopardy.
- She might have postpartum depression, which is nothing to sneeze at, but treatable.


- One can drive alone in a field.
- One can drive on the road in traffic.
- Traffic appropriateness requires more sophisticated driving skills than alone in the field.

Protection of a mother's health is meaningless unless you consider the fetus not a person or not worthy of the same level of protection of their life, which leaves the entire question open.

I already mentioned. A fetus is a person so it should not be killed unless the life of both mother and fetus is in danger, so we save one, the mother.

That still begs the question, why her? If they're both people, surely the more innocent and less able to care for themselves should be given precedent.

There is no beginning question because you cannot save the lives of both in the second case so you at least save the life of one.

Ok, and what of the times when the baby could be saved at the expense of the mother?
