The whole abortion thing came to the fore because DOCTORS were undermined when they wanted to recommend abortions for MEDICAL problems. As I say that could be extended to mental problems but is not a woman's choice any more than it is her choice to undergo transplant therapy without a warranted diagnosis. Where is the diagnosis for a pregnancy to be terminated when it's only due to the woman saying,"Whoops! didn't really mean it-forgot to take my pill!"??
There is none. It should only be done when medically indicated. That does include mental attitude and rape etc.
No a woman does not have a "right" to an abortion. Simple . Plain as I can put it.
