| scat398 said: I fully support the 20 week limit on abortions. We abort over 1,000,000 babies a year in the us , i dont think that is what the supreme court had in mind with roe v wade, clearly we need to take a step back and find better solutions for unwanted pregnancies. If the US can get that number cut in half the economic benefit alone would be worth it. |
So.... 1,000,000 orphans? That would be great for society!
There are two distinct uses for the word life being used in these posts. There are people who use life as a catch-all, as in 'bacteria is alive', and people who use life to mean distinctly 'human life'. A fetus is life, that is not arguable. But at what point does it become human life?
5 months is plenty of time to decide if you're going to have an abortion. Condoms are not 100%. Pregnancies from rape do happen. Even if it were illegal, women would still have abortions. The ones who don't will just have a baby they do not want. Children with improper parental support will become criminals or pariahs/leeches on society.
Most people won't have a problem with a 5 month limit, but rather in the attempt of some to stop abortions all together. These limits are viewed as a slippery slope. Women should most certainly be allowed to have abortions.
