That's appalling, she gets a life sentence for someone elses crime.

"Life begins when sperm meets egg and cell division begins".
In that it's the beginning of a natural process that if everything works results in another addition or two to the human race, it's true, but the implication of your post is interesting.
If you and your family by free choice live by this belief would you leave it at that? If you could make abortion a criminal offense, no matter what the circumstances, would you do so? Would you take my freedom of choice away because, by your belief, deliberately breaking the chain immediately after cell division is murder?
Words are interesting. The difference between "abortion" and "termination" has the same slant as "smacking" your child or "hitting" your child. Same acts, but the words indicate viewpoint.
My view? I am pro termination whatever the circumstances. No, I do not believe that killing a newborn baby is anything less than murder but aborting a fetus is not. If you believe there should be no interference, no matter what the circumstances in the natural process, logically you must believe that a baby born too early to survive on its own should be left to die. After all, it's the natural process.....
