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.

If in fact the baby had been dead for some time, the doctor was incompetent by not knowing that right away.

This was some forty years ago. But I'll be sure and tell the doc what
you said. If he's still alive, which I doubt.
They had the ability to detect life in the fetus even that long ago.
Sorry you and your wife had such an experience in your life, but it takes such episodes to improve our lives.

No such thing as CHOICE, might be a term as "a necessity". The Law should define the degree of necessity for allowing an abortion and it should rest with the attending medical personnel but only a single doctors determination would be sufficient.

The law already does that just fine. As it is written now. I am merely
opposed to going back to the bad old days.
Yes and all I was stating is that what is in place now is what is appropriate.
