A Fetus Is Not A Child

168. Yes, I can answer.

I think it should be between a pregnant woman/girl and their health care provider, legally. As far as what I am comfortable with, taking into account all the related issues, I can speak only for myself as I do not know all the related issues. Yes, I can see limitations based on how far along the pregnancy is. "for any reason", if it includes that assinine reason of "oh, I changed my mind", assine being the extreme rarity so basically nonexistant need to legislate for that extreme case is used to try and legislate and get in the way of early abortiions, 3rd timester is my point. Because of the extremely rare cases, so much time, effort is put into emotionally charging people up that they confuse and etreme case with the commonones.

"viability" depends on what huge amounts of resources are used to keep it alive out of the uterus. It used to be 6 months, then back to 24 weeks, now going even shorter. But to declare a fetus can be kept alive means they all should be kept alive, no. I do not agree with that. That decision, if a woman is 24 weeks along, is up to her and her doctor. 6 months , 26 weeks from conception, not last menstrual period, is my break point.

After 6 months, still it is up to the woman and her health care provider as I do not know all the things going on in any case but my own. But opening up a "day before due date abortion clinic, only 8-9 month pregnancies allowed, no questions asked" would be wrong as well as probably go out of business very soon.
