We (Ireland) recently repealed a constitution amendment that banned abortion. My father is in his 90s and is a devout Catholic. He's exactly the type of person who would like to ban abortion, but before the referendum I had a long chat with him and have him a hypothetical situation: your daughter has just realised that she is pregnant. During the scan they also discover a tumor. The oncologist will not begin chemotherapy while she is pregnant. If she doesn't abort and begin chemotherapy her chances of survival are 10%. The embryo is just weeks old. Two major questions must be asked: 1. Is the life of a fully grown adult, who two children, a husband, parents, a brother, a sister and a large group of friends, worth "the same as" a 6 week old embryo that cannot actually think or feel? 2. Multiple choice questions: who should get to say whether or not she is allowed to abort in order to have a chance at survival? A judge? A doctor? A priest? Her father? Or.... Call me crazy... But maybe her? And that last question is the very definition of "pro-choice"
