Abortion has been such a polarizing issue that neither side will admit that the other side might have a point. Pro-abortion people of good will ought to be able to say out loud that there are some instances when abortion is wrong. And anti-abortion people of good will should be able to admit that there might be times when an abortion is appropriate, and that such a decision should be made by the woman and her doctor. Pro-abortion mothers should ask themselves if they really want their under age daughter to be able to have an abortion without talking to her parents.
But I would hope that we can all agree that this is wrong. A young Florida woman went in for an abortion. She was prepped for the procedure but the doctor was late. She ended up going into labor and delivering the baby, which was 23 weeks old. One of the clinic's owners put the baby into a bag and threw her out. A later autopsy showed that the baby's lungs had filled with air, so she had been born alive.
Would she have lived? Perhaps not. Was it right to throw her away? No.
