The Pro-life side of Roe vs Wade

Advocates often ignore the fact that the Roe vs Wade has a pro-life side. The ruling limits the government's interference by trimester in an attempt to balance the rights of women to control their own bodies with the rights of the child she carries. No one may force or limit a woman's control over her state in early pregnancy, while the ruling allows for a state interest in the well-being of the fetus in the third trimester. Most Catholics find the entire issue repugnant; however, our training for the dangers in childbirth was to always side for the life of the innocent child. My husband, who wasn't Catholic, thought that was very weird. I made him swear each time I was pregnant that if something were to go wrong, he would do everything possible to save the child without regard for my safety. Now that fewer mothers die in childbirth, I doubt anyone bothers to teach this to our young girls. Perhaps that accounts for the ease with which they seem to abandon our teachings on contraception and abortion. Many people missed this Florida case when it happened in March 2009. It got very little coverage in the local press and was ignored on the national level. The mother of 2 kids who was experiencing a problem pregnancy was held in a hospital against her will for 3 days and & ultimately forced to undergo an emergency C-section under orders from a Leon County judge. She was not permitted to change hospitals or doctors, nor to refuse medical care since 'the state had a compelling interest in her fetus', which had died in utero. No, I'm not kidding. The Florida Supreme Court declined to hear the case and let the lower court decision stand. http://www.aclu.org/pdfs/reproductiverights/burton_v_florida_acluamicus.pdf
