I see it a bit different. Even if the baby is ready to pop out in a week, the woman should be allowed to terminate it. I know it sounds a bit off, but as far as I am concerned it is considered the woman's body until it is out of the woman's body. In other words, the woman should have the choice 100% of the time up to and until it is born.
Any time after I would consider murder..like those mothers who dump their new born babies in the dumpsters and leave them to die overnight.
I am thinking here that the first trimester is the best time for a great many medical reasons...mostly to do with the health of the woman. Anything later will put the woman in a position of medical jeopardy. Should she THEN decide to go to term but find that she is unable or unwilling to care for the infant; then I feel it is her right to place that child for adoption ..there are so many children and so many childless couples on the planet who really need to hook up. I understand Jerry that the 'dumpster' option is abhorrent.
The first trimester is a pile of flesh so i don't agree with you, and most women don't realise they are pregnant by that time anyway
