New Clinton email controversy

But depression/suicidal ideation can be treated.  Would it really be wise to let a woman make a decision like that while she is not mentally/emotionally sound?  What are the risks of the psychological trauma this would cause if she regrets her decision after getting well?   Much like women who harm their babies while suffering PPD; we wouldn't consider those decisions that of a rational, psychologically healthy person.

Another case in Ireland, an  (19 year old) asylum seeker was locked in a mental hospital because she was at serious risk of committing suicide because she was carrying a foetus as a result of rape back home (or during her journey, a lot of the details were in camera) so that she could be forced to carry to term. She had no legal way to get to the UK for an abortion (official number of annual abortions in the UK by Irish women is over 4,000 but NHS England reckon the number in England alone is 50% or more higher).

That's what happens when anti abortion regimes are in place, any thought for the righs or health of the woman go out the window. My advice to the likes of Catholic Lady and other anti aborts is "if you don't like abortions, don't have any. Don't impose your dogma on others".

My bold. That would be all fine and dandy if abortion was a victimless act. The problem is when something involves killing someone else, it no longer becomes a matter of "Don't like it? Don't do it." 

I'm not saying pregnant women in peril shouldn't be treated with the utmost compassion, and society should do everything it can to take care of these women. But killing another human is just not the right answer.
