Nothing is ever black or white, so to make a general judgment with no education on the matter is ignorant and pointless. I didn't vote for President Clinton one of his terms BECAUSE of his support of late term abortion. I am ashamed of that vote.
When I was 16, I worked in the hospital lab for my 6 weeks of UB that summer. I saw a woman who had given birth far too soon to a baby that was the length of a dollar bill. She had made the decision (pro-choice, technically) to keep the baby on life support. If this child lived it would be blind and deaf. It's lungs and kidneys would never function without machines. It would be mentally handicapped as well. They had gone through all the insurance they had and could get. They had put themselves in major debt and even family members and the community had donated money on a child that needed to be released from this forced prison. It eventually died despite the monumental efforts. The family will never recover financially and this would affect any children that they had or would have. I also have watched families grow so large that they have been neglected medically.
I don't know what the circumstances are for late term abortion and I've sadly stayed in the dark far too long, but I am intelligent enough to realize that there are times it's necessary. People who decide these things, be they the doctor, or the mother have a heartbreaking choice. I knew that had to be true. I was correct. Read the stories here:
