[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s still a second degree felony to destroy a turtle egg.

It’s a felony in NY to possess a firearm magazine that can hold 11 bullets.

But killing a unborn baby, nearly full term, that could live if it were delivered, simply [i] “because I don’t wanna have this baby”[/i], is perfectly legal.

It’s absolutely mind bending. [/quote]

First, it should be a felony to possess a firearm magazine that can hold more than 2 bullets.

And nearly full-term abortions are non-existant, which i'm sure you already know but don't actually care about because this isn't about babies, it's about controlling women.[/quote]

First, such a law only makes sense to violent crazies like you, who wish to disarm everyone else because they assume the rest of the population is as violent and lacking in self control as they themselves are. You don’t trust others with a gun because you don’t trust yourself with one. Sorry, but I’m not you. I’m not a violent crazy person.

Secondly, if “full term” (let’s call it 7.5 months, since it’s pretty standard that babies born 6 weeks early almost universally survive) abortions are so nonexistent, then there’s no need for a law to legalize them, is there?  That’s like having a law to protect flying spaghetti monsters. Since flying spaghetti monsters are nonexistent, what’s the point in lawfully recognizing them?

Hi, maybe read this whole thread first. There are many examples of heartbreaking situations where a late term abortion is absolutely on a list of horrible options. These things do happen, although very rarely. The last thing these families need is a legal hurdle.[/quote]

So one pro abortion poster says late term abortion is so rare as to be nonexistent, and another pro abortion poster says they do happen, albeit rarely, and thus need legal protection.

So who is right?

You two can't even get on the same page.

1. Late-term abortions extremely rare. Only 1.4 % of abortions take place after 21 weeks, and probaly the vast majority of those take place around the 21-22 week mark.
2. When the rare ones do take place, it is for heartbreaking reasons such as a doomed pregnancy in which an abnormal fetus will suffer tremendously if carried to term, where it is safer for a woman to terminate at 22 weeks than go to term with a non-viable fetus, where a woman has a health emergency and needs to terminate immediately. The decisions to abort at this stage are not made lightly by the women who get them, and they reach those decisions in consulation with their doctors.

Why is that hard to understand?[/quote]
