Except in situations where the choice was forcibly taken away, every woman had a choice to refrain from sex before getting pregnant. Now that a life has started growing inside her womb, the woman has a choice of being responsible and living with the consequences of her previous choice, or being irresponsible and allowing an invasive procedure that will destroy the life that has started growing inside of her. Either of those choices will still lead to consequences she will have to face up to. If she decides to destroy that life, she will be forever haunted by the knowledge of what she did, what she ended. If she decides to let that life grow, she will have other choices she has to make. Will it be more responsible to be the mother to that child or to pass the responsibility off to someone else? No matter what she chooses, because of the choice she made that led to her pregnancy, her body and her life will be forever altered. Whether she decides to destroy that life or let it grow, that life will be forever connected to her. If she chooses to let it grow, even if she decides to adopt it out, she will at least have the potential of seeing what it could become. What levels of greatness it could achieve or trials it might have to face. If she chooses to end the life, she will forever have the emptiness of not knowing. She will have to live with the know that she was the one who decided to destroy any potential that life might of had. The choice is hers. Which consequences would she prefer to spend the rest of her life living with?
