absent a showing of harm to mother's health, there should be limits when the baby is viable.

I don't know how to regulate what would happen then. If the mother wants an abortion and the child survives, what should the doctor or nurses do? Let it starve to death? Take it away and put it up for adoption?

I realize that most abortion procedures destroy the fetus but I think it is emotionally draining on the medical staff.

That said, if the mother's health is in danger, she gets the procedure.

She has full decision up to 6 months. After that, depends on how developed the kid is. If she can't decide in 6 months, she should have a reason.
