>1) What if the child has no chance at a normal life, or even surviving much past birth? Here, I'm thinking of really severe impairments, like ancephaly.

The baby is allowed to be born and made comfortable as possible. It's a human being.

>2) What if the child will survive birth, but not beyond early childhood? Something like Tay-Sachs, where victims die by age 5.

The baby is allowed to be born and made comfortable as possible. It's a human being.

>3) What if the mother will survive pregnancy, but only at great damage to her health. For example, a mother with a disease that needs to be treated, but can't be treated while she's pregnant.

The baby is allowed to be born and made comfortable as possible. It's a human being. The mother takes her chances because she became pregnant through personal choice or surfeit of birth control.

>4) What if carrying the pregnancy to term means the mother will lose the ability to bear future children?

The baby is allowed to be born and made comfortable as possible. It's a human being. The mother takes her chances because she became pregnant through personal choice or surfeit of birth control.

The baby is allowed to be born and made comfortable as possible. It's a human being. The child is put up for adoption.

>6) What if the mother is child, 10 or 11 or 12?

The baby is allowed to be born and made comfortable as possible. It's a human being. The child is put up for adoption.

>That's enough to start.

The choices are simple when you believe in the sanctity of human life.
