I understand, but to a point. See, well... abortion is one of those issues I don't have a real fire and brimstone opinion on, so here goes nothing:

There are some risks to it still, including possible future sterility, and all the complications that exist with any other operation. Duh. And yes, coathangers are bad. (Also duh.) And you're right, for the woman involved, it's obviously safer when done properly in a clinic.

But the thing is, from a lifers PoV, there's a whole nother person to consider, the unborn one. So from their perspective, the combined pull is tougher on their heart strings.

It kinda bothers me when people take such intense sides on this one, seeing as it is far from cut and dried and the definition of life is constantly changing, and far beyond our comprehension besides.
