Pro choice people only, how many believe that abortion should be allowed up to one minute before delivery?

Question

If not at what point during the pregnancy should the abortion no longer be allowed?

Answer 1

I always supported till the end of the first trimester unless the health of the mother is at risk.

Answer 2

No one believes that, the only reason late term abortions were done was because the fetus was found to be so defective it couldn't survive much past birth, the damage would be found to be incompatible with life. Now there has been a federal ban on that upheld today by the Supreme Court, an institution I lost respect for with the Bush coronation.
Its not done for birth control, its not up to me and now its not up to you either, you have no choice, you must continue the pregnancy, go through labor and delivery, hold your dying usually grossly deformed baby
deal with the untold horror and sorrow, all to make the pro-life, (no matter how short or painful,) people happy.
Good Work Pro lifers.
Go for the return of the kitchen table abortions next, you are some bunch.

Answer 3

Only up until the end of first trimester (approx 3 months) of pregnancy. Unless the health of the mother is in jeopardy.

The law passed today has absolutely no impact on this time period, and 90% of abortions performed today are done within the first trimester. The problem with today's ruling is that, according to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, said that for the first time since the court established a woman's right to an abortion in 1973, "the court blesses a prohibition with no exception safeguarding a woman's health."

Then, of course, I would have to point out cases of rape or incest, and the fact that a fetus can abort itself due to complication within the first trimester, and has no cognitive thought or viability in the first trimester either.

Answer 4

I like to think of myself as pro-death, but I'll answer, anyway.

Viability outside the womb is a pretty fair line to draw - though not a clear one: 'viable' after a slap on the but is different form 'viable' after months in neo-natal intensive care. But, even then, it's only really justifiable to force continuation of the preganancy if delivery would be safer and less harmful to the mother than the abortion procedure, something that would be very hard to prove. Then there's the question of who cares for the unwanted child.

Answer 5

i don't remember what the line of demarcation is in the scotus decision of roe v. wade - i believe it was the end of the second trimester or 24 to 25 weeks - and that is just about right according to the scientists. it is at around week twenty eight that the nervous system is forming and neurons and synapses are beginning to be laid out in the also now forming brain. my opinion is that until this point in a pregnancy, the fetus is not 'human' and can be disposed of without too much psychological damage to the mother. after that point however, i think abortion should be illegal to perform and other options must be considered.

Answer 6

Personally, I think abortions should only be permitted up to about the 20th or 22nd week of pregnancy unless the woman's life is in danger (then you can stretch it a bit longer). This is because medical science has meant that babies born at 24 weeks gestation dso sometimes survive. Once a baby is at a gestation where it is capable of independent survival, I see no reason for terminating the pregnancy - if you don't want to keep the child, give it up for adoption.

Answer 7

professional determination. i do no longer precisely approve abortion as a ethical determination, yet i think of that if a woman desires to get an abortion, she ought to have each and every correct to. i wouldn't in any respect get one myself till there replaced into an argument that would desire to be risky to me and/or the toddler (which incorporate ectopic being pregnant) or if I have been ever raped (God forbid). I additionally think of that no rely what the regulation says, all of us is often going to choose on abortions. i might lots quite have those human beings get their abortions executed in a clean enviroment via a physician who's acquainted with what the hell they're doing than in some lower back alley with a coat hanger.

Answer 8

Well, I am pro-choice, and i think that abortions should be allowed in the first trimester. After that, it should only be in cases of rape/incest/ or life threatening to the mother.

Answer 9

NO!!! You have choices before you even get to that point!! Its about responsibility prior to even becoming impregnated. I am 28 soon to be 29 in months no children & that comes from being a responsible adult in my sexual behaviors! That child has nothing to do with the mistakes you have made & if you're situation is bad & you feel you can't take care of a child didn't you know that prior to opening your legs & enjoying making him/her? If that was always an option how many of us would really be here today? Thats a human life finally take on some freakin responsibility for your actions good grief!!! I don't believ in it & never will children are supposed to be a blessing & abortion should not be a birth control method for those who don't like to protect theirselves!!!!!

Answer 10

Right now the laws are such that third trimester abortions are illegal unless medical necessity dictates otherwise. That seems reasonable to me.

What do YOU think?
