I don't care about abortion (I'm not a woman) but what do people think about abortions that happen in the ninth month or where the fetus could survive as a baby? I know it's illegal in some places, do people think they should be legal?

I personally think it should be legal. The issue is the woman's right to bodily autonomy. That shouldn't be trumped by the age of the fetus inside of her. If it is, then that right never truly mattered at all.

That said, no one is just waiting until nine months in to have an abortion for funsies. All these laws against late term abortions do is make it harder for people to terminate wanted pregnancies for health reasons. It even kills women (like that one in Ireland who died of sepsis because the Catholic hospital she was in refused to remove the already dead fetus from her body).

But if you kill a expecting mother, you get a harsher sentence for the death of the fetus.

I'm only against late term abortions. First few months is okay, but there are some psychos out there that think 7-9 months is right, which I disagree with

Hi. Want to explain why you think I'm a psycho?
