[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15 weeks seems reasonable, that’s gestational limit for the majority of European countries.  Only 8% of US abortions occur after 13 weeks.

There will be still be ways for women to obtain abortion on demand. [/quote]

Agreed. 20-24 weeks would be better, but 15 weeks (over 3 months) is plenty of time. Article also says, "He <<Youngkin>> said he supports exceptions for rape, incest and cases where the life of the mother is at risk."

So - what's the fear here really? Stop the hysteria please.[/quote]

15 weeks isn't "enough time" when severe issues show up on the 20.week scan.[/quote]

Or the recent news case about the woman who was 16 weeks pregnant in Malta. How do doctors trust that their judgment about risk to the life of the mother will be respected? Do they need to wait for a court order before operating when the woman is dying?

Also, is it a life or isn’t it? Why do the circumstances of conception (rape, incest) matter if this is about protecting life?

If only 8% of abortions occur after 13 weeks and most of those because of health issues, why do we need this ridiculous ban?[/quote]
