Do liberals support Partial Birth Abortion?

Question

I know they support abortion, but what about partial birth abortion?...Do they feel okay with that too?

Also, if you support abortion and not PBA, then at what point (how many months) inside the womb does the fetus comes to life, or at what point does it constitute murder or [taking away a life?]...

Answer 1

i am a liberal and I am ok with aborting babies up to 4 years of age

Answer 2

There's no such medical procedure as "Partial Birth Abortion"--it's an emotionally loaded term invented by the Pro-life movement.

Late term abortions should (and for the most part do) only occur when not having the abortion is more dangerous to the mother than having the abortion. Unlike early abortions, they are seldom about "choice" but more often about medical necessity, which means that it is a medical doctor who should be making that call, not a politician.

Answer 3

I have news for you. Many people, who consider themselves to be liberal, do not support abortion. What they do support is a common sense approach to deal with it. What they do not support is using the government to force women to give birth.
Extreme points of view will never lead to any solutions. You want to deal with abortion? Lead the fight for social programs that would make it easier for a woman to give birth rather than abort. Stop letting your political ideology get in the way of real solutions to the abortion problem.
And no! I do not support partial birth abortions. But I am not a doctor and I submit that in some cases it might be medically necessary.

Answer 4

I've been involved in an abortion and it was a horrible experience. It makes you think long and hard about your ideals.

That being said, I do not support abortion. That means I'm in favor of people terminating pregnancies. I'm, by no means, in favor of that.

On the flip side, I do not want government having a say in the tough decisions people have to make in this regard.

People don't just casually go have an abortion.

You don't have a right to tell people what to do with their lives and their bodies and neither does our government.

Faster you realize your opinion isn't gospel the better off the rest of us will be.

Answer 5

You're a doctor. You have three seconds to make a choice to save someone's life. How many of those seconds do we need to take away by having you decide what procedures are legal or not?

Noone is going into a doctors office 9 months pregnant and saying "I want to abort this baby." That just isn't happening. In the unfortunate scenarios that may involve the choice to partial birth abort, I don't think it's the government's choice to make.

Answer 6

Wow, now you're saying it incredibly is a screw driving force. o.k., first of all, abortions that previous due are uncommon first of all. in basic terms a million% of abortions ensue after 20 weeks, and over 60% ensue by ability of 9 weeks. Abortions after 20 weeks ensue the two because of the fact the fetus is loss of life/already ineffective/ has some thing so terrible that as quickly as they're born they're probable to go through and die slowly. "Partial start abortions" do no longer exist. they're called dilation and extraction. In maximum states they're unlawful. even while they have been thoroughly criminal everywhere, they have been hardly used. while they have been used, it became because of the fact people needed to maintain the fetus intact.so as that it must be correct morned, baptized, and notwithstanding. because of the fact by ability of 20 weeks, maximum folk receiving abortions needed the being pregnant. they'd or would possibly no longer have planned the being pregnant, yet by ability of that factor they needed it. They needed to maintain it. yet because of the fact of situations they could no longer administration, they'd't save it. So, i'm only going to leave this right here so which you and all and sundry else can see only how lots of an @sshole you extremely are. How deep you're on your person bull $hit.

Answer 7

I don't know any that do. Most liberals I know don't support abortion, either. I, as a liberal, do feel, however, that the government has no right to interfere in a womans personal decisions about her body. It is, until the fetus is viable, a medical decision for the mother, not a legislative decision for the government.

Abortions should be legal, but rare.

Answer 8

Partial Birth Abortion is political spin term.

I feel that its none of my business what someone else chooses to do with their body, or the fetus that their body is carrying. once the fetus has been born, then i have a social responsibility to care about its welfare, but before that it is not my business.

Answer 9

Do you mean late-term abortions, or intact dilation and extraction procedure? Because partial-birth abortions can refer to either. I am in support of any procedure done as long as it is done before the fetus is capable of surviving outside the womb. After that I only support it in certain situations like endangerment to the woman.

Answer 10

The term "partial birth abortion" is ambiguous, since it could possibly include many different medical procedures.

That's the problem. Congress wants to try and draw lines, saying these medical procedures are allowed and these are forbidden, without having any clue as to the medical reality.

And Congress wants the laws to not have exceptions where the life or health of the mother is at risk. However, the Supreme Court has said that all laws restricting abortion procedures must make exceptions for the life or health of the mother.

So, many people object to the Congressional law because it is medically inaccurate. And others object to the Congressional law because it violates Supreme Court standards. And others object because Congress does not have the constitutional authority to regulate medical procedures at all (See Article I Section 8).

Once you get past all that, most people who are pro-choice believe it should be up to the doctor to determine what the best and safest medical procedure is, because that's the doctor's job. It's certainly not the job of politicians.

Answer 11

Um.... don't generalize.

I'm a liberal who doesn't support Abortion. I think it's a woman's right to choose. But I don't support the whole abortion idea. I like to think of myself as pro-responsibility.
