Two Comments on So-Called ‘Mercy’ Abortion

  1. When speaking of circumstances possibly permitting abortion, such as the mental health of the mother, I don’t think the experience of charitable organizations such as the famed Efrat (which helps guide and assist mothers-to-be in distress) should be dismissed in favor of the pro-abortion establishment.
