Hey guys.
Just wondering your opinions on when a fetus becomes a baby? When should/shouldn't we abort a pregnancy?
Interesting case, which was what started me thinking about this in the first place...
I was talking to my school chaplain today and he was telling me about a friend of his who had to decide whether or not to give an abortion to a woman who was 36 weeks pregnant. And she was suicidal. So obviously if he'd left her, there was a strong possibility that she would kill herself *and* the baby. So he ended up doing the abortion. And then he asked me when I thought a baby became a baby. And I realised I didn't really have an answer. I mean I'm 'pro-choice' as it were, but that doesn't mean I'm 'anti-life.'
So what do you think about this situation and abortion in general?
