No. It is not OK.
Progressives/liberals/communists will pull out all of the stops to save the life of any convicted killer destined for judicially-mandated punishment, yet will murder thousands of innocents in the womb on a daily basis.
That's an ongoing dichotomy of reasonable thought that perplexes the majority of us.

Thanks to advances in in-vitro fertilization and more women waiting longer to conceive, the rate of multi births has skyrocketed over the past decade.
Doctors have been able to reduce the risk to the mothers and babies, but thanks to the risk to the mother of carrying three or more fetuses, OB/GYN's have developed a method of reducing multiple pregnancies down to a more manageable two fetuses. The procedure involves inserting a needle filled with potassium chloride into the heart of one of the fetuses around 12 weeks, which stops its heartbeat.
In fact, some women pregnant with twins who believe they don't have the resources to care for two babies have also decided to terminate one of the fetuses in utero. The New York Times tackled the sticky issue of twin reduction for non-medical reasons this week, speaking to the doctors who perform these procedures and the women who undergo them.
While author Sarah Hrdy argues it was more common for women to abandon a child moments after birth if they felt they couldn't take care of the baby in her book "Mother Nature: Maternal Instincts and How They Shape the Human Species," some Times readers have ben asking what constitutes "necessary resources" these days?

Second of all, it is never the only choice. No matter the situation, you always have a choice of whether to abort the baby or not. And the incest part was really not necessary, because you can assume that if incest resulted in an unwanted pregnancy, it was rape. I have never been placed in that situation, but I don't feel like I'd be able to live with myself knowing I terminated a pregnancy, wanted or not. As to the part about a mother's life being in danger, I would gladly give my life to those I love, and I feel that the same would go for my unborn child.
Just because my opinion is different than yours does not mean I have a low level of intelligence.
Aside from being murder, you deprive so many people looking to adopt these days.
