There is a significant ethical difference between a positive act to terminate someone's life and a passive act to allow someone to die.
Doctors have to make difficult decisions like this. Most people find it much more difficult emotionally to actually perform the killing action than to simply allow someone to die.
To a doctor who views both the mother and the fetus as independent human beings, he has the choice of either performing the killing act on one to save the other, or allowing one to die to save the other. Both are horrendous choices, obviously, but to a physician who genuinely and honestly believes that a fetus is a person (and, in reality, there is solid scientific basis for this belief), the choice is pretty clear - he must allow the mother to die to save the fetus.
I think its horrible. I think its playing God. I think its up to me to decide if I want to live and not up to a doctor to decide to who gets to live and who gets to die.
Its not a woman using abortion for birth control, its someone who wants to live and we can't deny that right.
I could see if perhaps during child birth and the doctor has a split second to make a choice, I see that as different. To me its killing someone if they walk in and say, these tests show I am going to die if I give birth, please, let me live and give me an abortion.
All attempts must be taken to save someones life and no matter if I see a fetus as a someone or not, allowing and knowing that someone is going to die to give birth to the someone is killing them. I would not want that blood on my hands.
