Abortions are not a good thing, but they are better than the alternative

She told me if her parents found out she was pregnant she would be disowned and kicked out of the family home. She also told me that her brothers would murder her boyfriend, and I believed her. About an hour after her operation I and my nurse saw her and her boyfriend walking out of the clinic hand in hand, and I said to my nurse, "Look at that. We saved two lives today."

Ah, I see we have entirely missed the point. kadath is saying precisely this.

It looked to me like kadath was disagreeing with etherial's original statement.

In both cases, there is a condition that can be corrected by medical intervention; the intervention has its own stresses, risks, and potential complications, but the existence and availability of said procedure is nonetheless infinitely preferable to the alternative.

and I thought her disagreement was odd because I think by etherial and kadth would agree with this.

Unless LJ randomly logged you off, because it does that.

It did. That was me.

kadath and I are quibbling over the definition of "good". Also, I was wondering who else might be commenting in my journal from Texas. I'm not surprised the answer is "no one".
