Yes, this is a touching verse and the pregnancy here was very much wanted for many many years, but what to do with those who have unwanted pregnancies? I have talked about the mothers responsibility to a child brought to terms with respect to providing food, cloth, housing, educate and love. The one with the responsibility must be given the authority to carry out the task; for, assigning someone the responsibility of a task without the corresponding authority to carry it out is folly. Therefore; if the state is given the authority to force the mother by penalty of law to carry her pregnancy to term, the state must assume the responsibility to provide the child with food, clothing, shelter, education, and love where the child is unwanted by the mother. If there is a question of whose life takes priority when the life of the fetus threatens the life of the mother, I believe the mother's live takes precedences. Then there are many other touchy situations where the life of the fetus, and the life of the mother, are somehow conflicted, and the state seem ill equipped to handle this issue. Therefore; I don't feel an ill equipped, uncaring, and in many ways inhumane state has any business being envolved in the very personal abortion issue. Regards, LelandJ > Yeah, that's a tough one.
