Do you think prolife turns to prodeath if a pregnancy turns dangerous for both mother and unborn?

I for one would have an abortion so I would have another chance to bring forth another life in the near future. Please opinions from both sides of the issue What I'm saying is, if both mother and baby were to die in or at birth. It would turn out to be a no win situation, which in my mind be prodeath for both mom and new born

1. if mothers and or baby's life is in danger then an abortion is acceptable since it's medically necessary.
2. I don't believe that there is ever a good reason for an abortion. Even if my own life was at risk I would take necessary precautions, but I would never kill my baby. I don't believe you should be able to pick and chose your children.
3. Sorry I am pregnant and if I were told I might die then I would die. I could never live with myself killing my child. Abortion is murder at its worst! The child has a heart neat and little limbs and sometimes when they take them out they are still alive and die on some nasty table! If god wants me to loose the baby he will choose that and if god wants me to die and my child to live then he will choose that! It is ultimately up to every female but I believe if more females were shown their baby and the heart beat they wouldn't want to do it! I could never be that selfish to choose my life over theirs!
4. Since i already have a child I would not willingly die. If it was my first child then yes i probable would have died for her.
5. No, no one is pro-death! If it's possible to carry the baby to at least viability, do so! Then you can have the chance to keep your baby AND yourself alive. If it's not, all life-saving efforts should still be made to at least TRY to save the baby. Babies even as young as 21 weeks have survived. The only thing pro-death is abortion.
6. I know I will get thumbs down for this but oh well here goes anyway. I am the mother of a beautiful 4yo little girl. She is my whole world and I would give my life for her in an instant without thinking. I grew up with out a mother (she was killed when I was 2yr 9mo old) and it was very hard growing up with out her. So that being said if there was a problem with my pregnancy and a very large chance that I would not make it then yes I would abort. For one reason: my daughter, Taylor Anne. I would not want her growing up without a mother like I did.
7. Honestly this is a hard thing to answer for the simple fact that if I were in the situation to where it was me or the baby who lived I would choose the baby's life over mine with no problem..i.e.,no abortion...but if it were both of us that were not going to make it then I don't know about that one...I would probably take my chances and hope like hell the baby survived through some miracle...because even if I were told that myself and baby were going to die then who knows what could have happened if I were to get an abortion due to that fact. The baby may very well have survived and that would kill me not ever knowing if the poor thing had a chance to live
8. Good question. I am against having an abortion because the baby has a heartbeat before you can ever choose to abort it therefore I dont see it much different then killing a living breathing child outside of the womb. (my opinion) But In cases of rape or the mothers life in danger there should be options available.. that being said, only 1.9 % of all abortions are done because the mother was raped or it was a health risk to the mom to carry the child. So As a whole abortion is just a way to fix a mistake that should have never been made if someone wasnt ready for a child.
9. You have to look at it for what it's worth. In the cases in which abortion is medically necessary, it is because the pregnancy poses a severe risk to the mother, and neither mother OR baby would survive. Why on earth should a mother be forced to carry out a pregnancy that leaves no chance for the baby to survive and can kill her? Anyone who disagrees is naive. There are women out there who have other children to consider. If I had 2 beautiful children, and I were experiencing a rare life threatening pregnancy in which case my baby would NOT be able to survive, and neither would I, why would I allow myself and baby to die, and abandon my children? It isn't logical or probable. And IMO, this is the only scenario that I think abortion is acceptable.
10. This is a fence question. We are always on one side or the other there is no pulling anyone over the fence one way or the other. What sickens me is that people are always trying to make a senerio that would allow it to be ok to kill a child. I will leave it at that.
11. My answer is more a response to Lucy - if people would stop trying to outlaw something that should be legal, no one would need to come up with instances where it should be okay. It's not as though people are sitting around going "ooooh! I thought of something that would make killing babies okay! yay!" It's just FEAR that it will be outlawed and then one day NEEDED. One day a pregnant woman has complications and is rushed to the hospital. The doctors say "sorry, there is nothing we can do. You are going to die." But all they would have to do to save her life is end the pregnancy, but they can't because it is illegal. I can't imagine that world. I shouldn't have to. Things are just as they should be. So in answer to the original question, yes I believe pro-life turns to pro-death in extreme circumstances, if extreme people have their way. There should always be a little give. Nothing is black and white.
