Abortion and Women's Rights

[John V]

I've been fully consistent in communicating how I arrived at my 21 week mark and what it means. It's the most conservative estimate of how soon self-awareness might be possible.

Yet, you then said, "By the 3rd trimester, the fetus meets all possible criteria, so there is objective justification to restrict 3rd term abortions."

So, which is it - 21 weeks or third trimester?

Which would be inducing birth, not abortion per se. So yeah, the checklist is complete as far as abortion is concerned.

Viability increases throughout pregnancy. Induction carries risk for the baby. At what point would you allow induction?

...and that you feel it's OK for you to force your opinions on other people.

Again, so do you, you just differ on the details.
