     Interesting case to "bring to life" - so to speak:
I have a close friend, who has the right to speak up in this area of 
understandable naivety. He is the first born of 3 brothers. Under 
reverent advice, his mother was advised strongly to "have an abortion",
soon before the date of expectancy. The doctor, in this case, basically
had a genuine concern for his mother, who because of extreme medical
difficulty will always bear children under life threatening circumstances.
(That is only to her own life unless an abortion is carried out)  
Concerned basically for the life inside her body more than her own life,
she went against strong "medical advice" (3 times). I know I'm thankfull
she did , I know she is, and without a doubt I'm sure Chris (my friend)
is also! I realize this is one individual case , with it's own unique
set of factors and circumstance, and is diferent from thousands - millions
of abortions in question. But what if in any case you were the life in 
question or (1 of the 3 brothers)? 
      I realize I'm in for interesting and thought provoking replys, but
I welcome them all and am curious as to your thoughts! One objection I
will not even address is " She " or " they cannot handle the              
responsibility of raising a child!"  Who had the big enough responsibility
to create the child?
