[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A ban after 20 weeks would be a great compromise but then stop with wait periods and make them cheap and accessible so women don't have to travel and save lots of money as the clock ticks away. [/quote]

At 22 weeks, we found out that our child, who was very much planned for and wanted, had a serious defect that was almost a guarantee of being born still-born, or dying in the womb, and we made the gut-wrenching decision to abort.

So tell me: should I have been forced to carry that pregnancy to term? [/quote]

That example would be very, very, rare. What I find telling though is that you give this 'real life' scenario but you don't identify the sex of the child.[/quote]

It's actually not that rare.  I had to end a very much wanted pregnancy at 20 weeks because of life-threatening complications.  I know several women who discovered midway through the pregnancy that the fetus had defects that were incompatible with life.  What I find very telling is that you put real life in quotes, as if you doubt this PP's story.  Do you really believe that all pregnancies are sunshine and roses?  Do you really believe that all pregnancies end with a healthy baby?  Do you believe that women should be forced to carry all pregnancies to term, including those where the fetus will not survive or when the woman's health or life is at risk?  You didn't answer PP's question.  Should she have been forced to carry her pregnancy to term?   [/quote]
Also one in 50 pregnancies are Ectopic. [/quote]
