Quote:I don't see how anyone with a comprehensive knowledge of human prenatal development could support abortion to be honest.
A fetus cannot survive outside of its mother until around about 24 weeks. Up to that point it is entirely dependent upon her. At 24 weeks gestation it takes magnificent feats of medical technology to keep the baby alive. Not to mention the potential for lifelong complications due to such a premature birth (hearing and vision problems, asthma, cognitive issues, etc.) If it can't survive on its own, then why should the mother be forced to carry it to term?
