"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."

Abortionists give the mother the right to say that this or that difficult life situation must involve death to an innocent human being.  What if people in other difficult situations took it upon themselves to say that the only way out was for another innocent person must die.  Don;t we call that murder?
