Correct on the first paragraph. I'm not medically or religiously qualified to draw a line and I'm certainly not an armchair know-all academic on such far reaching issues. That's the reason why I reject the argument for what has become legalised murder.
Pregnancy termination for medical reasons fits comfortably with the origins of the original intentions behind these laws. Like most people, I may not be comfortable with it but do not condemn it. This is effectively in the 'risk management' area of medical science so if a life or death decision has to be made then I support the doctors because I'm not one.
