I am 18 and studying biology at a small private college in PA, having lived all my life in NJ. I recently graduated from a private school, where I was privileged to study for 13
years (K-12), and was also somewhat of an athlete. I have been a Christian
for two years now, and believe that Jesus Christ is the ultimate answer to
all human need, including your questions about abortion.  "A summary of what I believe this means is as follows: a human being is formed at conception. Therefore, almost all abortions are murder. The ONLY possible exception is a pregnancy that has occurred in the wrong place (e.g. the Fallopian tubes) or is developing is such a way that the mother's life is seriously threatened. In that case, the woman, and her doctor and husband, need to carefully consider what risks to take, with the ultimate goal being the preservation of the maximum amount of life. Abortions in the case of rape/incest sound compassionate, but ultimately, they aren't. I believe that there are all sorts of good reasons to oppose abortion, including its effect on the man, woman, and doctor involved, (not to mention the infant!) both physiologically and morally.  "I feel very strongly about this issue, but I think I can be
open-minded regarding individual questions. If you write me, I'll do my best to answer your questions or objections, and to sympathize with your situation. I don't have all the answers, but I'll do my best with the available resources, both moral and scientific."
