....about the only killing I 'condone' is that of someone who attacks you or family, that attacks the US directly or in this case maykill the mother.
Okay, can you see that all "kills" are not instantaneous or even quick kills? I'm talking about what can kill a mother. There are unforeseen maternal deaths - pregnancy is always a life-threatening risk. Always.
Here's a snippet from a recent news article: http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/why-are-so-many-u-s-women-dying-during-childbirth/article_dd916b4b-38f0-5bae-ba42-ddee636e4cf4.html
"The most recent figures available show the rate hovers around 15 deaths per 100,000 births — placing the U.S. near the bottom among developed nations.
The rate of severe complications during and after delivery have also doubled in the last decade, according to a 2012 federal study. Near-misses, where a woman nearly dies, increased by 27 percent.
That means each year in the U.S., about 700 women die of pregnancy-related complications and 52,000 experience emergencies such as acute renal failure, shock, respiratory distress, aneurysms and heart surgery. An additional 34,000 barely avoid death."
Amnesty International's Maternal Mortality/Deadly Delivery campaign - Florida Senators had no idea that the U.S sat so low on the international rating. This is important information to know if you really care about women's lives.

A snippet from ^^^
"The USA spends more than any other country on health care, and more on maternal health than any other type of hospital care. Despite this, women in the USA have a higher risk of dying of pregnancy-related complications than those in 49 other countries, including Kuwait, Bulgaria, and South Korea.
African-American women are nearly four times more likely to die of pregnancy-related complications than white women. These rates and disparities have not improved in more than 20 years.
Maternal deaths are only the tip of the iceberg. During 2004 and 2005, more than 68,000 women nearly died in childbirth in the USA. Each year, 1.7 million women suffer a complication that has an adverse effect on their health.
This is not just a public health emergency - it is a human rights crisis."
Considering the facts, why would anyone want to keep a pregnancy, let alone one that originated in a rape? There's a reason why abortion has always existed and always will. Many reasons.
