You and me, when we read that, think "she might die". But, they will pervert that, and the same doctors who have no issues with aborting a viable fetus, will claim "health of the mother" over things like mental health and minor health issues that are easily treatable.
Which side of this do you want to error on? When we talk about abortion, this is what hits home for me and my wife on a personal level.
What is considered "acceptable risk" for society at large and politicians isn't acceptable when it affects you personally. A 10% chance that the mother might die because of a pregnancy abnormality? That might not sound like a big deal to others, but when it happens to you and your wife, I wouldn't take a 10% chance she dies. That's a personal decision - no one should get to make that except the patient. Aren't we supposed to be fundamentally opposed to big government for this very reason?

good point Roger, but how many of the abortions happening today are truly for those reasons? I would think the vast majority are being done by mothers who just dont want a baby and its an easy out. Even free in most intances. If abortion was truly being used for rape and risk to mothers and no other times, do you think we would be having this conversation?
