I am going to steal this from Lean Left, as I find it to be an interesting topic that could lead to some interesting discussion.

Consider these two propositions:

1. A woman who is unable and/or unwilling to properly care for a child should not have a child.
2. A woman who is unable and/or unwilling to properly care for herself should not have a child

These propositions, it seems to me, are entirely uncontroversial. But here’s where the controversy comes in: I submit that becoming pregnant in no way changes those two propositions. And that therefore, in such circumstances, not only is abortion not an immoral choice; it’s the morally correct choice.

Discuss.

No comments from me yet. And I am not saying that I agree/disagree with the premises.

Discuss away. And be nice.
