I read and understood your point of view on this story and agree that this girl is way to young to even consider having a baby. However, in this case, abortion was really her only choice, except for dying, along with the babies. The girl would have indeed gone through a tramatic experiance, but if abortion keeps the girl herself from dying, because of events she could not control, then I agree with the fact that she had one done

Yes, that is why I said I believe this may be the exception in abortion. It looked as if there was no way the girl would deliver safely and if she died it is quite possible that the babies would have died, as you said. I do understand the church's stance though. There must be rules, and those rules must be upheld. Do I think that the ruling was a little harsh? Yes, but I think the church did what they believed was right. They upheld their rules. Commenting on the traumatic experience of an abortion...I was doing some research and it is extremely common for women to have many problems after abortion (post traumatic stress, second thoughts about aborting, sleep deprivation, etc) I was also talking to a reliable adult source who said many times women commit suicide because of having an abortion.
