I don't think the law can be made with one individual set of circumstances in mind. I have put out what I think is reasonable and just. Not no abortions. Just more limited than there are now. The law changes all the time and the consequences on an individual level are sometimes more severe sometimes less. I am not wishing tragedy or heartbreak on anyone but a change in the law that I think is more equitable and just to all of the life involved and more generally (although not in every case) encourages more personal responsibility. I also think, no matter how tragic, every experience in life offers someone the possibility to grow and learn something. While the results of birthing their child would have been sad and tragic, perhaps they would have learned something, grown or taken a different road in life that ultimately they would look at positively. Certainly, it wouldn't take much googling to find websites where people who have had catastrophically disabled children assert that they experience, while not ideal and while sad tragic etc, made them better, stronger etc. people.




It was an example of how a patchwork of state laws offers choice. Not for substance but for form.

Karl Rove sure does suck.
