Personally I think that they should be allowed both to be married and to have an abortion.Of course if two people paid the costs to have in vitro they would only choose
abortion under an extreme circumstance.
It's not whether you think it should be allowed. This discussion is about rights. To bring that into this discussion we would have to talk about who has what actual rights in both cases, and whether those rights would be given up in exchange for something else, expressly something involving safety.

I know you were being facetious. Considering the actual topic wasn't even about rights, but giving up Liberty in exchange for Safety, it probably was aimed mainly at the gun question, and we should probably stay there.
