Natural law indeed...let's just cut to the chase people and say you oppose late term abortion under any and all circumstances and we call it a wrap.

p.s. Best believe my wife comes first...always...every day and all day.

Saden I feel the same way but that can be a really tough choice. I had a friend who had issues while she was in her second pregnancy and the doctor told her that she and/or her baby could dye if she went on with her pregnancy. I believe they said the child had like an 80% chance to live and she had like a 50% chance of surviving. They went as far as setting an appointment with a doctor to have the abortion (3rd Trimester) and that night as the baby was kicking she knew there was no way they could go through with the abortion. Well then came plan B and the doctors monitored her each day and when they thought it was the best time they would do a c section. Her problem was that all of her vital signs were real high and then one day while she was at the hospital they went total off the charts. They got her in and delivered the baby but my friend died a couple of hours later leaving behind the new born, 3 year old and the father.

Because it's simply never that clear cut. However, I think law should better reflect the reality of the situation, that the closer and closer a woman gets to 9 months, her legal options become progressively more limited.

I'm okay with law reflecting a pro-choice perspective, but I also think that you can have implicit choice situations, and pretty much any situation where the fetus could be considered "near birth" needs to inherit a whole new set of rights. No doubt the situation can be complicated by any number of effects as you have pointed out. But law should not be all that liberal on late-term abortions. It should be much clearer on what constitutes an exception.

I have no problem with you suggesting an abortion might treat the issue, and my answer would just be that it shouldn't be legal treatment. I'm okay with most stem-cell treatments, abortions, not so much.
