Abortion should never be contemplated except for when the pregnancy is killing either baby or mother, painfully. And even then, it should never be done unless it's at an actual hospital with real professionals. Because, apparently, making it legal to decide "Hmm...I didn't mean to get pregnant when I didn't bother with a contraceptive...guess I'll go get an abortion," didn't make it any different from the old back alley clinics in safety or compassion. Or competence.
I'm glad they screwed up in the case of the Knight family. I'm glad that the pregnancy wasn't fatal for the mama, and I'm glad they have their miracle.
But her story was horrifying, from being pressured by her doctor to get the abortion to the conditions at the clinic, to the procedure, to finding out that she was still pregnant, despite having had something done.
(There are pictures of the baby in the linked news story, and she's precious.)
