I hate lines like this:Maybe a good mother knows when it’s time to terminate, for her sake and for her child’s.
It’s the last line in an e-mail from a pregnant woman, who e-mailed a New York Times parenting blog looking for advice from the blog’s readers on what she should do.
What kind of person actually thinks that terminating their unborn child is something to do for the sake of the child?
Do they not understand abortion isn’t something where the child is put on pause and then magically reappears when the mother is more ready to give birth?
Do they not understand that abortion, err... I mean, termination kills the child?
Imagine the amount of convoluted rationalizing it must take to think that you’re going to kill your unborn child for your child’s sake.
Let's put it this way: would we do the same to an infant for his sake?
