I use to work in an Emergency room in Triage and in the back. (As an admitting clerk, but before our new hospital was built we saw all the people coming in and notified the Doctors, etc.). Anyway - one day when I was in back with the action (charting, ordering labs, etc.) this lady came in hemorrhaging and had a spontaneous abortion (miscarriage). I saw the remains and there was a tiny hand.. That was my last medical job actually. Not so sure I'm cut out for that. I got very emotional. I guess that's normal. I have always thought abortion is wrong. Not so harsh that I don't think its sometimes warranted or at least justified like in cases of incest, rape or when a pregnancy is a danger to the woman's life, but this made it so much more real. On that note, though, my brother-in-law's sister WAS raped and had the baby... She couldn't imagine life without him. I don't think partial term abortion is EVER justified, however. That is pure murder. Being a woman and having that procreative power is amazing. It is a life...There just isn't a way around that. Our body's are not our own during that period. Part of being a woman. Of course men need to also be responsible. That is one good thing about Barack Obama.. He is encouraging fathers to be there. (Not that I'm voting for him).
