You place greater rights on a group of cells growing in the womb, yes. Ok let's put medicine aside for the moment. What if the woman is a poor married mother with three kids and who is working multiple jobs along with her husband just to keep her children to a barely adequate standard of living? This scenario is quite common in the US. What if, in order to ensure that her kids have a healthy diet, she forgoes contraception? And because she's in a loving committed relationship, she has sex with her husband and gets pregnant. And it turns out even though she works all hours given her, and her husband too an extra kid will put the family under in terms of finances?
What then? Do her other kids go hungry, go malnourished, develop brittle bones, forgo the needed vitamins and minerals to grow up healthy, simply because you in your blind adherence to catholic dogma have decided that it's better for the woman to have more children than she can bring up?
No Catholic Lady you are not in favour of life, you are simply against women having the autonomy and the agency to chose for themselves.
I agree a life without total control of ones body and it's workings is one not worth living really and a life of total poverty is also no real life sometimes life alone isn't enough
as for other methods that save the fetus that's step one but doesn't answer the type of life that has been saved
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
