I'll start off by saying that I've always been 100% against abortion.  I don't push my beliefs in other people's faces, but I have always been very pro-life no matter what the circumstance is.  This blog prompt actually comes at a really good time because something I saw recently made me question my beliefs.  As dumb as it sounds, it was actually a Grey's Anatomy episode.  A patient on there was pregnant and the baby had complications so she had to give birth really early.  They kept doing procedures on the baby to keep it alive, but it was still struggling.  It came down to a very difficult decision.  The doctors said they could do a certain surgery on the baby, but then the baby would have physical and mental defects for the rest of his life.  If they didn't do the surgery, the baby would die peacefully in a few days.  This made the mother really think about what kind of life she wanted for her baby.  Is a life where you can't move or think normally or even really function a real life?  I know this isn't abortion because the baby had been born, but it made me think of mothers who are pregnant and they find out that if they go through with the pregnancy, the baby would have physical or mental defects.  I still think that killing the baby is wrong, but now I can see why some women make the decision that they do. I can see why they think killing the baby is actually the best thing for it. I'm still going to be pro-life, but I now feel like I can understand some women's decision to have an abortion.
