I firmly support legal abortion for any purpose during the first trimester. I support abortion subsequently only under narrowly drawn circumstances. Life of the mother should never be an issue - given the choice of saving the unborn child or the mother the choice is obvious even if sad. Issues of rape and incest are also situations that would, imo, permit termination beyond the first trimester. The sad fact is this, there are times when we as a society must permit the taking life.
