That's another side of it. If the pregnancy proves to be too risky for the woman I think it should be terminated.

Oh, that question isn't about risk. It's about rights. Especially the right to self-determination. The religious go on and on about free will, but want to restrict it/eliminate it any- and everywhere that the expression of said free will contradicts their beliefs.

I actually don't think a woman's right to self-determination trumps the fetus' right to live. If she had sex of her own accord prior to getting pregnant, she presumably knew it might happen.

Cl raised some good points and it made me think - I also had qualms about abortion prior to this.
 I still think for rape cases and when the pregnancy proves to be too risky it should be terminated, if the pregnant woman wishes so. But otherwise - I'm beginning to think not so much.
