I see the difference.  But it's not up to me to decide for someone else
how significant that difference is to them if they're the one that's been
impregnated.  Incidentally you left out "accidentally impregnated," which
is a very significant category here.  I'd guess very few women who get
pregnant on purpose later "change their minds," unless the baby will be
seriously deformed or carrying it would be a health/life risk to them.

What I've never been able to figure out is if the "Christian" Coalition
manages to get abortion outlawed and a woman has one anyway we should
execute the doctor for murder or just the woman.  If the woman's husband
drives her to the clinic, is he an accessory?  If she tells a friend she's
thinking about an abortion, is the friend part of a conspiracy?

Can someone clear this up for me?
