Are you for third abortions? After which....

1) The baby can be operated on per the drudge picture

2) There is a clear hearbeat.

3) British scientists have shown clear neural and mental activity.

I think that legislation getting rid of third term abortions should be next, NOT Roe v Wade.

Peoples postions on this must evovle over time

Should say 'third term abortions...'

[fooman]

I want to play it quiet on Roe v Wade and not prematurely energize the bad crowd.

As bush said, hearts have to change.

The way to do that is show lots of the 4d sonogram baby pictures and work for a SECULAR ( I am Catholic) banning of third term abortions.

We should also eliminate laws that require hospitals and doctors to perform abortions.

I'm pro-choice up until the point of viability, after which I am decidedly anti. To me, that means no third-trimester abortions...I wish the focus on partial birth (a specific medical approach) would be extended to ALL late-term abortions.

[stands2reason]

Exactly. We need to educate peopl. Why can't we at least have abortion laws like England? What's so wrong with that?

There's a clear heartbeat long before the 3rd trimester -- try 6 weeks or so (often before a women even knows she's pregnant). Neural activity way early, too. And who's to say surgery in-utero won't be possible that early someday, as well?

The problem of defining life in terms of convenience is that you must constantly revamp your definition of life. Conception is the one point where there's no question of life: what was not, now is. Complete, unique DNA from conception. After that, all you're quibbling over is how old the baby gets before you can't stomach killing it.
