I'm not sure why you think that I'm not seeing both victims. I am and I sympathize. I'm simply saying that as much as I think it's terrible, why would that justify killing an innocent baby? Also, the healing process being 'delayed' 9 months out of a person's life doesn't seem huge - and what makes you think the process of healing cannot occur in those 9 months?

Actually, my entire position rests on the fact that I refuse to tell anyone what's best for them and what they should believe. Pro-Lifers DO think they know what's best for everyone. I'm just not that arrogant. The fact that the example I use is my 16 year old daughter is quite frankly irrelevant in a conversation with you because you want to impose your morals on everyone and in THIS case you're saying I should know better than a 16 year old.
If she's 24 would that matter? It wouldn't to either of us for entirely different reasons. I'd still say I'd support HER decision. You'd still say she's wrong if she doesn't see things from your point of view.
As I said WAY earlier, I'll just agree to disagree.
Oh, one more thing. If you don't think that you NOT supporting ANY decision your daughter makes in which she's so fragile emotionally isn't going to drive a permanent wedge between you both, regardless of whether it's contrary to YOUR belief system, you're sorely mistaken. After she's made one of the worst decisions of her life, the last thing she needs is her parents, the one's that are supposed to love her unconditionally, telling her what she did was wrong. She'll already feel guilty enough.
