This is the problem.
As I'd mentioned, the problem is not that she made a decision after conferring with loved ones, praying and thoughtful reflection on the matter, leading her to a decision she was comfortable with and still is, to this day. Ideally, that is how every pregnancy ends; with a woman firm in her decision, feeling with full faith that she made the best decision possible for her situation.
The problem is the final proclamation:
When asked what a woman in this position, "your position" the interview says, what that woman should do, she states that woman should choose life and not kill her baby. So when a woman who already has children is faced with the possibility of death of not just herself but the child she is carrying, she should opt against abortion even if doing so could leave her dead and her children motherless, this is what she should do. No hint that a woman ought to think about what is best for her situation, no hint that a woman ought to consider what's best for the child she's carrying and certainly no hint at considering what is best for the children she has, a woman should, regardless of the circumstance, choose life. She can say this because it is what she's done. She admits she's made mistakes before, in parenting, and surely this means she is human and has made mistakes in other areas. In this area, ladies, we can be sure though: She knows this is the best option no matter who you are, regardless of the chance it may kill you and your child, it didn't kill her and it didn't kill her child and she's happy today so you will be too, and good for you. Good for you, and good luck. Besides, even if it does kill you, God will take care of your kids. (Not medicaid, just God.) Ms. Tebow says so, so...
