Best option? It's just not possible.

Grammar lesson - what is wrong with the following sentence, spoken by Susan Yolen, vice president of public affairs and communications for Connecticut Planned Parenthood?

"She said that, while many women do happily keep unwanted pregnancies, it's not always the best option for the mother or the unborn child." (Quoted from here.)

Well, maybe you can argue what is best for the mother, but it is just not possible for an abortion to be the best option for the unborn child!

And an interesting sidelight to the comment - Ms Yolen even calls the baby an "unborn child" not just some unwanted growth in the mom. To Ms Yolen, an unborn child is fair game for murder, er, abortion.
