Well, I guess I'm okay with putting out limits on late term abortions, but there would have to be a couple conditions met.
First, the woman would have to be compensated for her inconvenience for enduring pregnancy beyond that which she would prefer.
Second, the state must agree to make the child a ward of the state if the woman renounces her bonds to the child.
Third, all medical costs incurred for delivering the child in the manner of the woman's choosing must also be shouldered by the state.
The bottom line is, the woman must not be inconvenienced any more than the child's father by the inconvenience of an unwanted pregnancy. It take two hankies to panky, and if our collective moral sensibility can't abide a woman to choose a late term pregnancy, she damn sure had better be shielded from the consequences of parenthood to exactly the same degree as the father is.
