And you do not speak for me

One person used the phrase “up to term” and the clearly meant anytime prior to birth.

Another poster disingenuously claimed that the first person was saying after birth. Even after the original person clarified what they were saying multiple times.

The second poster made it very clear that they were not talking about an unborn yet “viable fetus” but rather a “child born alive” (quoted from the second poster).

Your definition of “up to term” is exactly what the first poster was meaning when they used it. Despite you characterization of what I claimed the original poster meant by the phrase as “silly” and “doublespeak”, you apparently agree with it.

The majority of your response to me was a statement of your position on late term abortion. I want to make it clear that I made no statement regarding the justification for or morality of such a procedure. Nor will I ever do so in this forum.

I am not in a position to become pregnant. Nor have I ever been. I feel very strongly that this is a subject that should be decided by those who are directly impacted by it. I should not and do not speak for them.
