New Clinton email controversy

[GUBU]

I guess my point is, the state doesn't typically let mentally incapacitated people make other serious decisions about their life and health (DNR's, DNI's, ect.) so why should an abortion be different?

Suicidal ideation is not the same as something like schizophrenia (with an uncle who was schizophrenic, I've a vague idea of how bad that is), and while an abortion won't get rid of the underlying medical problems the sufferer is under, the fact that the event that is causing the person to contemplate and plan a suicide event is a big help in giving the medical authorities the space and time to be able to deal with the underlying issues and hopefully cure the problem.

It's no different ethically than giving a pregnant woman chemotherapy that would kill the foetus to cure her cancer.
