No woman wants an abortion the same way she wants a Porsche or a house. She wants an abortion the way an animal caught in a trap wants to gnaw off its own leg.

So that makes the killing acceptable? Is that all it takes for you to embrace the slaughter of a fellow human being – that the person doing the killing was desperate? I think you will find that most people that kill other people fall into the desperate category. Does that mean that we should legalize murder? Rapists are also desperate, should we legalize rape?

Or maybe we should just open the trap so a pregnant mother doesn’t have to ‘gnaw off her own leg’ by providing other options. Maybe we should guide her toward the enormous amount of support that’s available for her and her child. Maybe we should remove the crises, not the pregnancy.
