It sounds as though some who speak of abortions being butchery would actually go to this extreme. After all, how could you have a daughter who you believe is a murderer?

And also for a minor child (16 or so), pregnant by a boyfriend and wants an abortion - would you force her to have the unwanted child? If she went to court against her parents, that would almost guarantee a huge animosity that could not be healed over time.
