Why do we applaud a woman who destroys the life growing within her because she's "not ready" to be a mother, but put in prison a woman who destroys that life after she gives birth and realizes she's "not ready" to be a mother?
Why do we say not letting a woman destroy the life growing with her is slavery because we're forcing her to support a life, but letting her destroy the life that's totally dependent on her after birth is murder?
The bottom line remains, the baby growing in a mother is a human life at an early stage, and if we could agree on that, then we could have an honest discussion on how valuable that human life is and understand the price tag we pay in order to destroy it. Consider this, we accept the loss of tens of thousands of lives every year simply so we can drive fast. Obviously, human life matters less to us than that privilege.
