It boggles my mind that a woman can give birth to a baby and then abuse that baby. Once born, a baby is a human being, a separate individual, not some target for a frustrated mother's anger. But not yet born, a baby is not yet a human being, and abortion may be the only way to forestall abuse. I wrote about this last year -- see Murdering (or Saving) Unborn Babies -- and was subjected to some "right to life" vitriol for it. I'm glad to see that at least the first set of comments about your article were supportive of both you and of abortion.
