I don't just aim this at you, - but to anyone who's lost a child - but I wonder if perhaps the loss of a young child in the immediate family does influence a person's feelings on the matter of abortion? Its just I think anyone who has lost a child knows how devestating and traumatising it can be, and its impossible for those who haven't endured it to perhaps fully comprehend its impact . . . I wonder if the loss of a child leads to more of a sensitivity for life, pregnancy and the child itself.
I guess what I mean is this: would your opinion on abortion be the same if you hadn't lost a child? It just seems that when someone has lost a child it seems incomprehensible for anyone else to willingly choose to end its life, I can see why it'd perhaps be so upsetting or infuriating. So perhaps this biases one to the issue? That one can't seperate the idea of 'terminating a pregnancy' with that feeling of grief and pain.
