My reason is that when a fetus is able to survive on it’s own outside the mother’s body, it becomes an independent living person and therefore should have the same protections as any other living human being.
When the fetus can not survive outside the mother’s body regardless of all the help modern science can deliver, it is part and parcel of the mother’s body and she should have the right to decide whether to abort or not. It is no different than her arm or leg or her uterus, all of which can not survive on their own outside her body.
A late term abortion is therefore different than very early abortion. Even in cases of violent rape and forced pregnancy on minor children via incest, it is not right to abort a fetus which has developed to the point it can survive independently.

Too bad the Federal Government provides MORE protection for Bald Eagles than it does HUMANs.
You canNOT brake an eagle's egg, or even have a molted FEATHER from one in your possession!
Try to get a doctor to remove a perfectly good arm or leg from a woman - it's HER body!!
Lay that newborn down and just DEMAND that it survive on it's own!
