- I support this in theory, but I am worried about what will happen
- when it becomes a reality.
- Why?
- I cannot believe, that this operation would not carry more risk to
- a woman, than an abortion.
- And if it was a reality, abortion would then be banned. So a woman would be
- forced to be submit to a bigger risk than if she had an abortion, either
- a riskier operation or have the child. And suppose no one wanted the foetus
- and abortion was banned what then? And don't tell me abortion wouldn't
- be banned, there are plenty of people who are anti abortion, who
- would see this as a real gift, to get rid of what they consider, a
- terrible evil and to hell with the consequences for the woman concerned.
-
- I know this option is not a reality at the moment, but it will probably
- become one in the future. I will only support this proposal, if
- there is good evidence, that the operation carries the same or
- less risk to a woman as an abortion and that if it carries a higher risk
- you could guarentee that no woman would ever be forced to go through
- this operation as opposed to having a termination.
