I would offer alternatives such as adoption, but if they were determined, I would do the procedure.
Jade~•••••Just because people are going to do something doesn't make it right, nor does it obligate us to do it ourselves, or even make it safer to do. You don't see us giving high school kids pot, do you? We don't teach killers and theives to murder and steal more effectively, do we? Why then should it be any different concerning abortion? If you think abortion is wrong, the fact that it's "going to happen" doesn't make YOU obligated to perform one, just like "of age" Jehovah's Witnesses aren't obligated to receive transfusions, even if the majority of us think that one would be prudent.
