Unlike Democrats, Republicans are allowed diversity of thought and opinions.  

No big deal.

Right.  I disagree with her views on abortion but we do indeed allow diversity of thought on this issue.

I believe there are circumstances, beyond the obvious rape and incest considerations, where termination of a pregnancy might be the humane move for the sake of the unborn.  Let's say the child, were it to be carried to term and born, would face a life of excruciating pain and discomfort and an early death - with no realistic chance of a medical breakthrough that would reverse that condition.  I would ask: Would it not be in the best interest of that child to take the one action that would prevent its being put through the pain, misery, and early death associated with that condition?  Is the Christian (or Godly) thing to do to allow the child to be born under those conditions and suffer accordingly?

Food for thought.

In my view all life has meaning, including ones that involved suffering.  As Christians we should believe that suffering has redemptive value.  Every year we have a family at our lake house with an adopted son named Pete with severe mental and physical handicaps.  He is the most joyful kid I know and it is one of my favorite weekends every year.  If you wathced him floating in the water or riding on a tube you would be hard pressed to say he would be better off never having been born.  Is he ever going to live a productive life according to the standards of the world?  Nope.  But he brings more joy to others than most normal kids.  So while I respect and understand your views I cannot agree with them.
