@Cato I understand your point, but philosophically what difference does the incidence make? I'm guessing <1% of murders are committed by blowtorch but does that change the morality. I understand that a significant number of later term abortions are due to medical necessity, these are rarely elective or due to reasons of fetal non viability(anacephaly ect) If the fetus is not viable then the issue is mute. But there is some non-zero percentage of viable fetuses that are terminated despite being potentially viable and not given a chance to survive. My point is why should the mother have the right to decide in these situations from a moral standpoint? What moral argument for abortion covers this situation? As I have repeatedly stated it can't be the tried and true bodily autonomy so then what moral arguement justifies this?
