>>I agree wholeheartedly, but some people don't see the wood for all the trees, as we say here. They prefer that any unwanted child is born, and don't care about the mother's or child's future as such. As long as their own conscience is cleaner than their own butt, they are happy. Some of them are even willing to kill doctors, who mostly save lives, in order to get supporters.

>>Having said that, I don't support abortion as an alternative to prevention, abortion should only be allowed when the mother really wants it. It's her body and her life, and her decision should be accepted and respected and not condemned. That's how it is here in Norway, and it has been that way since 1978. We had exactly the same discussion here in Norway, and common sense won. If someone want to have an abortion, they are free to have it, but only after having had a conversation with a doctor or a priest first.

>Abortion is the last, and worst, way. It's traumatic by itself, and not helped by the ire of these guys at all. But as a last resort, it should be available when regular measures fail.

Yes, and that's what I also meant to express.
