12. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
Yes, abortion should be rare and safe. The circumstances should be limited to medical necessity. My wife developed pre-eclampsya while pregnant and we had a baby at only 27 weeks. Baby Owen weighed 1 lb 15 oz at birth. If he had not survived the procedure we would have essentially consented to a late term abortion, although not with that intent. He is alive and well, but we had to try to save mother and baby through this procedure.
