A woman went to her obstetrician saying: "Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! I'm pregnant again. As you know, I just had a baby less than a year ago. I don't want kids so close together."
The doctor asked: "So, what do you want me to do?"
She said: "I want an abortion."
After a few moments of silence, the doctor said: "I think I have a better solution, and it's less dangerous for you, too."
Eagerly, she asked: "So, what is that solution?"
He said: "Why not kill the baby that you now hold in your arms? This way, you could have several months' rest before the other one is born, and it would definitely be less taxing on you physically. Also, you can save money by your doing the killing of the child yourself---you don't have to pay for my professional fee for the abortion."
Horrified, the woman exclaimed: "That's terrible! That is insane! It would be a crime to kill my child!"
The doctor replied: "I agree. But what makes you think that it is OK to kill your unborn child? Do you think that there is really any difference between killing your child that had already been born and killing the unborn one? It involves taking an innocent life in either case---so, abortion is just another form of murder. Both abortion and murder are wrong and are both criminal acts!"
