Bullshit.
Like others, you presented one more situation with the story of your neighbors, and asked for our 'take' on it (for I understood the question to be directed at TIS as well). After we had presented our 'takes', then I wonder if you (and/or others) would have come up with another story, another family situation where the 'abortion/not abortion' decision/option had played a crucial role.
And another story after that, and another story after that.
We all have stories to tell, relatives, friends, friends of friends or our very own stories. While each story adds it own depth to a particular discussion, to ask someone's 'take' on it or ask what they would do it THEY were in that situation when in reality, they've already made their views clear, then after a while it becomes little more than a game.
Whether we intend it as a game or not, it's a game.
I've made my views clear, and I've also respected the views of others. It has now become a game and for me, the game is over. The rest of you can keep on playing on as long as you like.
