Reply #36: Abortion is no longer on demand after the third month [View All]

[Warpy]

in any state in the country. Your "aborted until the first push" is a straw man. No viable pregnancy is terminated at that point for any reason simply because the risk to the woman's health and life at that point are the same with either still birth or live birth and the viable fetus is also considered at that point.

You're putting an awful lot of strawman arguments from the antichoice far right into this discussion. Second trimester abortions are the usual late term abortions and are generally done for the most tragic of reasons. Doctors don't work in a vacuum and such abortions have to be medically justified, especially those after the fourth month of gestation. Ethics boards do review these procedures.

As for the other strawman of forcing the poor sire to cough up support if the pregnancy is carried to term, he assumed liability for his semen as soon as it left his body. If he didn't want to pay for a child, he should have deposited into a condom instead of a woman's body. He made his choice when he refused to wear one.
