Do you not believe that there are pregnancies where the mother's life is in serious danger due to the pregnancy? Such as pre-eclampsia or a ruptured placenta that causes a hemorrhage?

It's easy to dismiss these cases until it affects you, personally. A person can believe they know what they will do in scenarios such as those, but until that time actually comes, it's impossible to know for certain what action they will take.

I live in a very conservative area of the country and most people I know are very pro-life. And some of my friends and family, who are very pro-life, and voted to ban abortions....eventually found themselves in situations where they chose to terminate their own pregnancy.

One case was a mother of 5 who developed pre-eclampsia and had three strokes before she and her husband decided to terminate.

Another was a 13-year-old who was attacked by a child predator.

The last was a pregnancy where the baby had severe physical problems and would not live very long after birth and would only know suffering.

I would hope that no matter what stance a person holds, they would still have empathy for others.
