Is abortion murder? Or is it a choice?
Now consider this: is abortion murder when a 9-year old girl, carrying twins after being raped by her stepfather, had an abortion because "(S)he is very small. Her uterus doesn't have the ability to hold one, let alone two children,"? Should age (or the size of one's uterus) matter? Does it matter that her pregnancy was caused by her own family member? Where does religion fit into all this?
So many questions, yet there is never a right (nor wrong) answer. The debate will certainly go on but for this girl, nothing would have been more horrific than the ordeal she went through.
