How can you say this not knowing the basis of her decision? You have yet to demonstrate where any of this is a problem; i.e., of the 1.4% of abortions we are discussing, what percentage of that population gives rise to a situation where a reasonable person would conclude that actions of the mother weren't in the best interest of the child. Once we determine that population, one then is compelled to consider the needs of the mother including potential harm to the mother for carrying full term. Your assumption that five month pregnant women are choosing to abort their pregnancies willy-nilly and need to have some self appointed superior conscious save them from themselves is absurd.
