[The Straight Story]

1. A question on this whole debate: How far along would someone say

an abortion should not be performed?

6 months? 7? 8? 9?

The fear is that once you establish a timeline there will be more and new restrictions. A fear others have on other issues I might add.

Anyone personally have a point they see as no return on such things?

When my X gf and I split up I found out she was pregnant and didn't know it until the day before. She was on birth control but had been taking meds for an oral surgery she had that counteracted the pill. She was five months along. She was overweight (and I don't mean that in a negative way) and didn't realize that she was pregnant until she went to the dr.

She made the choice (a good one imho) to keep the baby and we now have a wonderful daughter (long story). We went together to get the ultrasound and found out it was a girl. It was not an 'it' at that time and was well formed.

Being that it was she that had to bear the child and such I had no input, nor offered any.

Personally though, I feel at some point it is no longer a simple organism but something more alive and complex - something dependent on the person who holds it and can decide life or death (can something die if it has not been born yet?).

What is that point? Who should have a say in such a thing? Should we, not could we, be able to make the decision up until the time of actual birth?

3. Yes but

The woman that died in Ireland because she was denied an abortion is another perspective.

There cannot be a one size fits all law.
This is dangerous territory.
