I'm confused about the after the baby has been born thing.... You can't claim bodily autonomy as a reason to kill something that isn't affecting your body. So the reason we can't kill the baby after it's born is the same reason you can't kill a random stranger on the bus.
Ok, so you are a week before your due date and you have a catastrophic life event resulting in you believing it's best not to have the baby at all, you feel it would be ok to terminate at that point? I'm not judging or condemning you, and commend your honesty.
I just want to make sure I understand your position is that termination is ok at any time of the pregnancy and for any reason.
When you add the word "you" in there it complicates things unnecessarily.
If a woman is a week before her due date and she has a catastrophic life event resulting in her believing it's best not to have the baby at all, I feel it would be ok to terminate at that point if that's what she thinks is best for herself and/or her family. I don't think it should be illegal nor do I think it would be immoral for her to make such a choice. I believe that women are capable of deciding what is right for themselves and their potential children.
