Abortion/Consciousness/Life

[Losty]

Ok but isn't a late term abortion performed trough surgery? A surgery can be traumatizing and leave scars as far as I know (It didn't for me, luckily) - And aren't premature babies extracted trough surgery too? (at least sometimes they are). I'm sorry if my question is ignorant, I'm just trying to understand the debate.

As far as I know the argument of trauma isn't that all relevant since having an abortion can also be a traumatizing event for some women, it just depends.

Rexbecca I understand no one should force you to have a baby just because they feel like it - But what reasons are there to abort late term b sides exceptional situations such as the ones I've mentioned? As far as I know, late term abortion is allowed if there is a severe problem, no questions asked, it just isn't allowed if the woman has a perfectly healthy baby and only decided to make the decision 3 months after the deadline. There's deadlines for everything, but the possibility to make a choice is still there. I don't think this constitutes a severe problem up for debate since very few women voluntarily decide to abort late term just because they feel like doing so, there's usually a reason, a strong one, and it's usually legally permitted.

Losty, just correcting something you said - Just because something isn't illegal that doesn't make it right, not saying you're wrong or anything, just correcting that. Some laws may say the death penalty is not murder, but that doesn't mean the death penalty isn't murder, I believe it is and it has become an undeniable reality for me. There's also a lack of laws to protect animals from abuse, that doesn't mean animal cruelty is right.

No no no. Let me explain what I was saying. If it isn't illegal, then it isn't murder. Murder is the unlawful killing of a person. Something that isn't illegal cannot be unlawful. I didn't comment on whether it was right or wrong.

Maybe legit, not saying I'd do it - But I guess it's ok. I think you shouldn't be having kids just because your husband says so in the first place but that's a different subject

As a woman I'd like to have the right to abort, and that's all I can say. Putting myself in the woman's shoes it is the only rational decision. If I choose to abort or not that would be a different topic, but it's a personal choice.

I don't actually have a husband :p
