I'd say only definitively in the case where the mother's life is in danger; and probably in cases of rape or incest. I would definitely be in favor of emergency birth control if a woman is sexually assaulted. It should never be used for birth control, and except for the cases illustrated above, never covered by insurance.

I can't see why a miracle of God has to die because he or she is unwanted. But I do think that we need to do a much better job of caring for children once they're born than we do.

It may be a "miracle of God" in your eyes......others don't feel the same way.
