OK, I have a completely legal, 100% effective way of ending abortion. In Roe v Wade, it says, and I quote:
(c) For the stage subsequent to viability, the State in promoting its interest in the potentiality of human life may, if it chooses, regulate, and even proscribe, abortion except where it is necessary, in appropriate medical judgment, for the preservation of the life or health of the mother.
OK, here's the deal. Right now, viability is about 22 weeks old. After that, most embryos can, with artificial aid, remain alive outside of the womb. Before that, their respiratory system is not developed enough to sustain them outside of the womb.
So, what can we do? Get help from Science! If we put enough resources into it (and it is important enough, so we can find the resources), we simply pay for scientific research into helping a younger fetus survive outside the womb!
And, since the rate of technology is increasing exponentially, if we start now I say in about 10 years we could have a 10 or 12 week old fetus surviving outside the womb. A few more years, a few more weeks. Any less than that, and by the time a woman realizes she is pregnant, it will be too late to have an abortion!
So, what do you think? Will it work? Can we scientifically end abortion?
