Do you think the decision to uphold the right to abort might also have
considered the predicament of the hypothetical child? Born because,
essentially, the mother was forced to have it; possibly brought up in a
household in which the parent or parents resent its existence, or alternately
raised in an orphanage or foster home (as many kids put up for adoption are).
Dunno as I think it's right, but then there are degrees of Quality. Does one
necessarily abort to avoid responsibility, or is it possible one may abort
because one cannot provide for the child and cannot abide the thought of
giving it up for adoption? Would the latter case necessarily regard "the
social and biological comfort" of the woman?
Hard questions, no pat answers. Darn...
