Should be legal, end of.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie 
I'm sure despite the Zika virus, the church will do the wrong thing.
I'd almost be surprised if they'd even think spraying for skeeters is a good idea. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

If abortion is legal for anencephaly there need to be a debate/change for consideration for other medical conditions. Definitely. If there's a medical problem, abortion should be legal. BTW, I wouldn't jump to conclusions that Zika is causing the deformities. Other factors may be involved. It will be interesting to see how far it spreads, as that will be a clue to the cause.

Will that derail the debate? Will the powers in charge state that until cause and effect evidence exists there is no need to consider a change or expand the discussion to other birth defects?

We should operate on the understanding that we are discussing courses of action that should be considered if one is established. Obviously if evidence is uncovered it isn't causing the deformities it becomes a moot point. To be fair I don't think anyone here would assume otherwise but you never know.

I think that this should open the door for a discussion regarding other birth defects. There are more fatal birth defects than anenchphaly, i.e. Trisomy 18.
