U.S. appeals court blocks Indiana 'selective' abortion law

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

1. Good. Abortion, any abortion, let alone

those covered under this stupid law, are and need to be ONLY the concern of the woman involved. And perhaps her doctor. Maybe her partner. But NO ONE ELSE should be involved. These are highly personal decisions and need to remain so.

Personal note. I became pregnant with my second child when I was 38 years old, at an elevated risk for Down Syndrome. I chose not to have testing, to the clear dismay of my ob and to a lesser dismay of my husband. I honestly felt that having a child with DS was not the end of the world and we'd deal with it if it happened. In the end my son was born with zero genetic defects. That said, I would not begin to judge another woman in similar circumstances who underwent testing and perhaps had an abortion. Someone else is going to make different decisions in similar circumstances. Who am I, who is anyone else, ever to judge that??
