Golly gee whillickers - what if they find a defect after the baby is born within the first 24 hours? Should you have the moral right to put it down then?
First week?
First 2 weeks?
Or does it only count while the umbilical is still connected?
Perhaps up to 18 years...
Everyone knows of a family who have a kid who developed (or manifested) very challenging problems when they were 30 weeks gestational, four days neonatal, 18 months, three years, eight, fifteen. I know two families whose sons did not develop schizophrenia until their early 20's. Physically healthy, mentally/emotionally almost untreatable, prognosis for future "quality of life" ... low. (((sigh)))
But at which ages would you say a proper treatment would be crushing of the head, or death by dismemberment?
Abortion does not call into question the unborn baby's humanity, but our own.
