Late-term abortion is terrible! it should be stopped completely

[9-10ths_Penguin]

A suggestion to everyone here complaining about late-term abortion:

Do something constructive about it.

For instance, anencephaly - when a fetus develops with part of its brain missing - is one of the most common reasons for late term abortions. Anencephaly is caused by neural tube defects. Folic acid helps to prevent against these neural tube defects.

My admittedly quick Googling couldn't find a single group opposed to late-term abortion who has the mission of getting folic acid out to people who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, so if you really do want to stop late-term abortions, here is a niche that needs filling. If you address this problem, you will have my blessing and my thanks.

If that particular problem isn't one that suits you, then I invite you to do a quick Googling to find out other reasons for late-term abortions and do something to address those issues.

Does that give people the right to ignore facts?

They sure haven't given you facts in the past.

I suppose you can close your eyes

Or you could find a source that does not need to lie to try to make a point.

That's a pretty easy thing to say...

Easy to say when such a frightening thing isn't going on.
Humans are funny how we think we know how we'll react. But we don't. And we often do the opposite of how we think we'd behave, or even hope we'd behave in some situations.

if I was pregnant and had to choose between me and the baby then would choose death for myself

That's your choice to make for yourself.
You don't get to make it for others.
What if the woman has other children to take care of? Do those children deserve to go motherless?

Also, such procedures are usually performed once the baby has already died (or dying, or will die) and needs to be removed from the womb so they mother doesn't develop sepsis and die.
Nobody is doing that out of choice. It's pure necessity.

Do I understand that correct, you advocate outlawing late term abortion even when the mothers life is in danger?

I was wondering about when they happen, since I read that they aren't done in most countries
except in specific circumstances, according to Wikipedia

 

[Kooky]

I'm not quite sure about that:

If you google "elective 3rd trimester abortion" you can find quite a bit of information on that.

So Wikipedia lied?

Abortion after week 20 is terrible! it should be stopped completely.

A lot of people (very many though not a majority) feel it should be illegal even before that, like the instant a sperm unites with an egg. This is for many people non-negotiable. Most people agree with you about late term abortions, typically sooner such as whenever the unborn is able to feel pain or can think. For some its when there is a heartbeat.

To say it can never be legal? That seems to ignore what really happens when there are problems. Some very weird things can happen. I don't know all of the specifics, but I don't think the law belongs making absolute statements. You have to trust people at some point. You have to at some point believe.

You can actually go into Wikipedia and change it yourself. At least they used to.

I think abortion should be illegal even before that. I think abortion should be illegal when there is a heartbeat. Or when the baby is able to feel pain or can think.

But i think also all abortion should be completely illegal. I believe humans get a soul at the conception

Late-term abortion is terrible! it should be stopped completely. Late- term abortion is terrible. Have you ever seen a picture of a late-term aborted child? You clearly see it is a baby. In late- term abortion the baby will suffer so much. The baby will feel so much pain

The babies who is late-term aborted is NOT a fetus anymore. They are babies. It is terrible late term abortions happen. it should be stopped completely !!!

I agree. I'm pro choice up to the point where the nervous system goes online.

Late term is flat out murder with very few exceptions such as a life in danger, or a horrible mutation.

If someone gets a soul at conception then of course all of that other stuff is redundant. Fortunately for me I don't think they get souls at conception, so I'm not guilty of murder for having agreed with some of the pro-choice positions. If I thought souls were allotted at birth it would be different. I'd have to rethink things.

Is a fetus human?

 

[SkepticThinker]

Late-term abortions should NEVER be legal . No matter what.

My mother would have died when I was 10 years old if you had your way. Then I wouldn't have had a mother to raise me.

No thanks.


You really need to pay attention to the comments on this thread and do some searching on your own to more fully inform yourself on this subject.

Thank you for letting us know you aren't really considering or taking seriously anything that's been said. Like the medical necessity that very generally, typically, usually, and frequently causes a need for a late term abortion. Like the fetus already being dead or near dead, no hope or chance or survival, so it must be removed so it doesn't decay inside the mother.
Since you aren't considering these things, why should we consider what you say? Especially when what you say is telling us we should have needlessly lost our mothers, wives, daughters, and friends.
