if it's giving birth to the child and the mother is at risk of death, i honestly do believe the child means more than the mother.the mother has already lived quite a bit of her life if she's had sex at a proper age to end up with the fetus in the first place. whereas, the fetus / child hasn't even had the chance to begin their life.
besides, there are plenty of women who have been told they will not live through the birth, but have. you can't always rely on what the doctor says.
my grandmother was told it was not wise to give birth to her child, but she did so anyway. then came my mother. now here i am.
also, you would not be 'forcing' her to become an abusive parent. she herself decides her actions and if she decides to hit her child, that was not forced by someone that was her own doing no matter her condition.
furthermore, killing off children simply because the parents aren't seen fit to take care of them is just wrong if you ask me. if someone is truly unfit to take care of a child, then don't take care of it. give it up. there are plenty of people that are barren or are just not wanting a child of their own and would like to help another's. also, you can't really make the argument that people are telling mothers to put their child up for adoption when nobody is adopting and that they're all talk. over around 40,000 children / people are adopted internationally every year. people are indeed adopting.

might i add, by the way, that every time i argue against someone on the matter of whether or not a fetus is indeed a life, the person always changes the subject to something else having to do with abortion. i find that is because they realise they are very much in the wrong to have said that the fetus is not a life and that it shouldn't matter if we end that life in cold blooded murder.

Psalm 139:13-16
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

So in God's eyes an embryo is human. Just because your morals are less developed than God doesn't change anything.

You forget that every person who is pro-abortion has NOT been aborted, so they have no right to speak. Killing is wrong. And what God hates even MORE is killing of the innocent.

Exodus 23:7
Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked

Deuteronomy 27:25
“‘Cursed be anyone who takes a bribe to shed innocent blood.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

So practically you have taken this "bribe". Which value is that you 1. Don't get to lose your worldly friends(you get to FIT IN) 2. You don't get the responsibility of a mother.

Truly, abortion might be one of the WORST crimes in God's eyes, because you are killing INNOCENT children.
REPENT OF THAT KATRINA! You shouldn't DO it and you shouldn't defend it! TURN AWAY from those thoughts which are not from God but from the Devil.
