I am not totally closed to the possibility of abortion because human life sometimes involves tragedy. I define tragedy as a situation where struggle, suffering, and even death are the only outcome. For instance, a mother with children faces a situation where a continued pregnancy will end with children without a mother.  Should the mother die to spare the child, or should the child die for the sake of the larger reality of the family? This is a classic example of tragedy. Actually, in some instances, pro-lifers support choices that will end with struggle, suffering, and even the death of the innocent, and do so without much of a pang. Take all those  pro-lifer's support for the Iraq War, where so many more women and children died than soldiers. Or take all those good pro-lifers who will be comfortable when millions lose their health insurance, and more than a few will die an unnecessary death.
