1. This is really tragic...

Personally, I am totally, 100% against an abortion; but then again, I'm a 65 year old male, so will probably never have to face that terrible decision in this life. But I am also for a woman's right to chose. Who am I? WTF do I really matter in this.

What is most tragic is the fact this has to be dragged through the courts. At 10 weeks of pregnancy, I am opposed to an abortion, because I see a bit of difference in the development of the fetus. At 12 weeks, it is considerably more developed, and then I get real bad feelings about it. At 14+ weeks, it just becomes more inhumane.

This has to be solved NOW. The child, being 16 years old, should have that right to make the decision. It is, after all, her life. She could have counsel, and she may have to deal with a most difficult decision at a way too early age. That's tragic, but the choices are just as tragic, or worse.

So, looks like the "right-to-lifers" win this battle. The longer they can put it off, the more difficult it will become to make a choice to abort. How sad...just really sad.
