[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pro-choice poster here.  I think an abortion at 28 weeks can only be justified if:  1) It has only recently been discovered that the fetus has severe birth defects, or 2) The life of the mother, if the pregnancy continues, is severely threatened.  If either of those are the case, an abortion is justified.  You can characterize it as violent if you like.[/quote]

The circumstances shouldn't matter if it's a mothers *choice*. Shouldn't she be able to change her mind about having a baby at any time? I mean it's her body, she has to raise it- so if at 28 weeks she wants to dismember the baby because Johnny Appleseed dumped her- then that's okay. But why isn't it okay if she changes her mind after the baby is here? It's her life, she has to raise the child- why is it not okay if she chooses to kill the premature baby? Do you know how much medical bills could cost for that type of care? She should be able to do the same procedure that would have been done in utero. Shake it to death, break a few limbs, and throw it in the trash...easy peasy.

However, if a mothers health is at risk, surely there must be a less brutal way to handle the situation. But I don't believe in mercy killings, especially when doctors are often wrong in prenatal diagnoses. And even if they aren't, there's still a better way to proceed.
