Re: OT Why I support choice

It's more than a choice.

It's life and death.

Before Roe V Wade, my wife was pregnant. We rubbed the belly and
called it a baby. We looked forward to a family.

Then she began to get sick. They said something was wrong with the
baby. Seriously. She got sicker and was in the hospital. They said
that she might die. I told them to take the baby if it meant saving
her life.

They said that they were prohibited by law from doing so until 3
doctors convened and agreed that it was a life and death decision.

That was scheduled for the next day. It became obvious as the night
wore on that my wife wasn't going to make it till the next day. In a
panic, I finally persuaded a doctor to break the law, and take the
baby. Turns out, the baby had been dead for some time. If he had followed the law, my wife would have surely died that night.

So it's personal.

I consider the anti-abortionists potential wife killers.

Simple as that.

I'm sorry for your problem, but your reaction is extreme. As a claimed "moderate", you should know that the proper solution is a sensible law that simplifies getting an abortion when the mother is in danger - not a move to unrestricted abortion. You're not thinking with your brain. You're thinking like a liberal you claim not to be - with your heart, and about a very personal and rare situation.
