To put this in terms of the religious (Christian) thinker... In the end, Sky Daddy himself performs more 'abortions' than do we. And the majority I wager involve women who do or might want to keep their baby. Why should Sky Daddy be so capricious and malicious as to do this, but withhold from his creation the ability to exercise the same act, for reasons of practicality? Is it fine that a mother suffer the loss of the future child she wants, yet wrong that a mother be rid of the one she would not want? It's hard to escape the conclusion that for at least one religion of the desert all women must suffer.
