I think anything involving a pregnancy like that has got to be a decision made between a woman and her family, her partner, her husband, her significant other, whatever, and her faith and her physician. And for decades the law has supported that. And I think by and large the people of Alabama support that. But having said that, there has also been for decades limits on late-term procedures. And those are only reserved for cases of medical necessity. And despite what everybody has said, that’s what I support and I continue to support that.” -Doug Jones-
I totally agree about the intensely personal decision but here is the one problem with that, that I have. If the Husband, mate, partner, and the woman decide that they just don't want a baby and care to use Abortion is to me choosing to murder an individual because that person isn't wanted. If two people agree to kill someone is that okay? The real question is when that fetus becomes a living, viable, person and I am not able to make that decision but I also am comfortable in saying it's somewhere before 8th or 9th month and I'm not comfortable electing someone that has stated after birth is when they consider it viable life. In many cases laws have been wrong that have allowed "late term" abortions for any reason that the person decides to have them.
I'm not trying to make decisions for parents but I also respect that laws are there to protect the innocent against murder which is what I consider abortion to be if it is done at certain times. I consider the unborn life just as important as the life that supports that unborn life for both should be protected. I also don't believe Abortion to be a viable form of Birth Control but rather something very serious to be considered in cases of incest, rape, or serious health situations. Each has their own opinions and beliefs and the challenge is to work out a compromise, if possible.
