Another argument that I have read is that the pro-lifers are representing the unborn fetus as if it is a legal battle. My take on this is perhaps the unborn do deserve representation. If it is a trial proceeding the unborn should not win in every instance. Many prosecutors have winning records but they don’t win all of them. The mother should be heard also. I base this opinion on the fact that when I was born my mother was very ill. The doctor gave her the “choice” to save her own life or mine. She chose her own life and I applaud her for doing so. I always tell people she chose her and I chose me. I am happy to report we are both still alive and well. I’m 69 and she’s 97 and has not only survived my birth but she has conquered breast and colon cancer at various intervals in her life.
