[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP please give us statistics for how many abortions occur after viability and please tell us the reasons women seek out such abortions at that stage. Real life cases please, not just something you made up.

Until you can discuss these things there is no use taking with you about anything.[/quote]

If it happens ONCE, that's enough. [/quote]

Nope not until you tell us the reasons why women seek out abortions after about 20 weeks. Are you afraid to discuss them?[/quote]

The child lacks organs that make that child viable... like a heart.[/quote]

Or, the fetus has been diagnosed with a disease like the lethal form of Osteogenesis Imperfecta.  The lethal form of OI means that the fetus breaks its bones simply from moving in the amniotic fluid (multiple fractures are evident on ultrasound), its lungs cannot develop, and its skull will be crushed in the birth canal.  If born alive, the fetus will likely die shortly after birth.

Shall we deprive Grammy sustanance because she's "likely" to die next year? Besides, you all know she'd want to be taken out of her misery if she could tell you.[/quote]

So you're good with a fetus suffering breaking its bones over and over again and then, if born alive, not being able to breathe and dying shortly thereafter?

Are you seriously concerned about the suffering? 
Let's be honest here.

OI runs in my mother's family, affecting several members in various ways.  Some family members live relatively normal lives, some have to be afraid that their legs will literally break under their own weight (yes, this happened to my cousin's son who was standing on the playground when his leg broke under him), and others are severely disabled.  All of them have some degree of hearing loss in addition to the brittle bones, as well as other problems.  None of them have OI bad enough that their bones broke in utero, even those who are severely disabled (can't walk or stand).

I did a great deal of research about OI before I ever got pregnant precisely because I was afraid of the suffering the disease can inflict, whether in utero, or not.  The idea that my beloved child could be breaking its bones simply from kicking in utero devastates me.  If you believe that a fetus can feel pain, how painful must it be to fracture your femur and vetebrae?

Please don't tell me it isn't about the suffering for me because you don't know what you're talking about.  You also fail to understand that there are real people facing real tragedies who don't need you or the government to insert themselves and add to the utter misery.[/quote]
