Donald Trump is being criticized by the left and right regarding abortion. He doesn’t want to lose his voters and is not trying to find some middle ground to keep the nation from falling apart.
No one has tried to find that middle ground. Those who wanted to keep Roe v. Wade and want abortion on demand for any reason, and those who believe life begins at conception, are tearing America apart.
I was one of those who follows the biblical teachings, that there is no reason to end the life of the unborn. I’ve thought about it and wrestled with trying to find some middle ground. I now believe that abortion should be allowed in cases of rape, incest and the life of the woman. I say “woman” and not “mother,” because a mother would not hurt her child.
A woman has the right to prevent a pregnancy by taking a “morning after” pill to stop fertilization. But if for some reason she fails to take the pill and growth begins, the baby in the womb must be protected. This is my view on abortion now.
