Audio 16: Abortion and the Church; Chapter 2 (Abortion's assault upon God's character and law); Section 6b (Dealing with common justifications for abortion: health of the mother)
Download MP3Excerpt:
If abortion were outlawed for reasons other than protection of the life of the mother, it’s likely “life of the mother” would, in practice, be viewed expansively in its application in order to include threats to the mother’s life due to mental health vulnerabilities, and many abortions would then be performed under these rubrics.

This is particularly so given the fact long known among medical professionals that no preborn child’s death is necessary to save the life of his mother. Physicians both pro-life and pro-abortion have testified to this simple truth for decades now, and it has only become more true as those decades passed.
