The Bible teaches that God values all human life from conception (including those that don't come to term for whatever reason) I desire for my thougts and opinions to be matched up to God's Word. As for my beliefs, and how they reflect upon my own personal situation-

I have a condition called Hyperemsis Gravidarum in which while pregnant I will literally throw up to death without medical help. Although the help sometimes can be no help if my body rejects it, and even when my body accepts it, it is in no way a cure. I am hooked up to medical pumps, have to take all different sorts of pills, and get Iv's. Being pregnant is a choice that i have to walk into knowing i could end up dying (i know we could all somehow die of pregnancy, but for me, the chance is much greater, especially coupled with any other problems that coud arise). Also, as long as my organs remain functioning and do not shut down, my gestitating baby grows perfectly, pregnancy is a huge risk for me, while my baby endures it almost completely to no ill effect. Once my baby is birthed, all my issues disappear completely.

I told my husband that if it were a choice to save me or our baby, save the baby. I would do anything to save my baby, even to the point of giving up my life, but i won't take away my baby's life to save myself. And, i believe that because i am taking the risk of having sex, then i must take on all risk and responsibilities that that can bring about.

The issue is a hard pressed issue because of the fact that most people are having sex just to fulfill thier own desires and don't take a baby possibly happening into consideration. It's hard for me to say how the government or the state should be involved, but i can say, only tackling the tail end of the issue will never solve the problem. People have to get it into their heads that sex always equals the possibilty of a baby, always, and if they arent willing to have one, then sex must be abstained from. But, it seems trying to convince people to not live based upon what they feel is almost impossible. The battle for human life needs to happen at all ends, before a pregnancy happens, and after. The whole situation breaks my heart. It gets overlooked, taken as opinion, and pushed into a relm of thinking that people's hearts can be legislated.
