Jaysus effin' Christ!! Santorum on abortion due to rape

[Zen Badger]

For what it's worth I'm pro-choice, it is afterall the womans body.

However, I don't think it should be allowed after the third trimester unless for medical reasons.

If you can't make a decision in six months......

See, thats the nice thing about supporting abortion all the way up to birth. You leave the decision and the risks to the pregnant woman with her doctor telling her the risks she will take depending on the time frame.

If you wish to legislate it, then why not also legislate against other risky surgeries and procedures, like a triple bypass has a high chance of being fatal to the person receiving it, so therefore you should also ban such a procedure for medical reasons as well..

...or is it REALLY not about the risks involved and more about something else to you?

Let me expand upon my original post so that there is no confusion.

If upon finding that she is pregnant for whatever reason, rape, incest or even just as a result of casual unprotected sex then it is that persons indisputable right to terminate that pregancy. How can it not be?

But if she then carries that foetus for six months what other reason than medical can there be for terminating it?

BTW I don't see the correlation between between late term abortion and a triple bypass.
