If the law made that kind of distinction I wouldn't oppose it but that's not the way these abortion laws are being written and that's not some kind of oversight by the pro-abortion crowd.creepycoug said:

What then?
My point here is, why nitpick the law if you don't believe it's ok. Just say that and stand by it. I don't have any issues with people who are anti-abortion, even those who are anti-abortion in every single circumstance. I understand the argument and the position. It's just that most of them are full of shit and terribly insincere in their beliefs. -
blob et al cling to the theory that women seek abortions at eight and a half months for trivial reasons.

Then why not write these laws to exclude these "trivial" reason O'Keefed?HHusky said:blob et al cling to the theory that women seek abortions at eight and a half months for trivial reasons.

The law doesn’t permit late term abortion for trivial reasons. Never has. But by all means, do continue your snipe hunt.

It is abortion on demand since being depressed or stressed out about having the baby could easily earn an abortion. Like I said it's not like abortion doctors have morals. They're all about the money. No dead babies no money.2001400ex said:

The law allows for an abortion if the mother is depressed. They wouldn't be risking their license.2001400ex said:

To be clear, I am entirely against this. I've wrestled with this debate for years, and the "drawing the line" thing is impossible, which compromises all the viability arguments. The other arguments that are trash are the "my body, my rules" and privacy lines of reasoning, though I recognize that the SCOTUS position is deeply rooted in notions of privacy.Sledog said:

That said, I also know that I react much differently to the termination of an early-stage fetus than to a late-stage developed fetus. I know that those are different, and the explanations for why are rather complicated. But it's slippery as hell. All of it.
But I agree with one thing somebody said, and that is that women lining up for late-term abortions is not a thing. I think they're rare and almost always involve some biological threat to the woman's health. I know a few docs with whom I knock back beers, and we've talked about this. They'll tell you that it's also not easy to find an abortion doc. who will do those procedures ... if only from a liability standpoint, they don't want to be involved. Messy stuff.
But I also have to say I can't support an open-ended law like that. There's no reason for it. Btw, these procedures are risky as all get out for the mother too. It's not an uncomplicated thing to terminate a fetus that late. Mental issues can be overcome. Terminating a fetus in the 7th or 8th month because you're depressed should be a "no go" IMO. But I also believe terminating in the first trimester should be a no-questions-asked right. Just my $0.02. -
