Since I cannot get pregnant, I have never put too much thought into it other than one time a girlfriend and I had "a scare." So that is a question which I am unprepared to answer, but I will try to do so.

When I was a Catholic, I believed in the concept of souls. So, in the past, I believed that life began at conception. I no longer believe those things.

With that said, the idea of an abortion gets more and more uncomfortable as it gets closer to 9 months. I think the third trimester was a decent cutoff, which is what Roe v Wade said if I am not mistaken.

But one day short of 7 months vs one day past 7 months is the same thing. It's an arbitrary number. So I guess ultimately, I wouldn't argue against a woman aborting a baby at any time.

In other words, I trust that women can make the decision about their bodies without my input.
You’re ok with killing the baby minutes before it’s born?

What about if the cord hasn’t been cut and the baby’s out? Still part of her body?
Depends on the situation. If the woman's life is at risk, I'd like it to be her choice.

Not sure if you saw my edit. My childhood crush (older sisters friend) died in childbirth. So birth freaks me out. I wouldn't blame women for changing their mind at any point during the pregancy because of that.

Tho the earlier the better

can we just change the name from abortion to legal murder and let whoever wants to commit it deal with their guilty conscience and call it a day?
If even God does not determine that an abortion is murder, who are you to find it as such?

If your position is a religious play. The God of Abraham clearly states that an abortion is not at the same penalty as murder.

If your position is an ethical one then there's quite a bit of hubris here. Assuming that your own personal view of this is murder should be applied to everybody else. At least in the religious note, the position comes from a universal power that you're following and not dictating your personal will.





One of my patients recently has a surgical reason that I can't disclose for patient privacy reasons and got pregnant accidentally through her birth control pills. She has a high risk of death for carrying this pregnancy and will be leaving Texas to get an abortion in a nearby state.

Don't you find it a bit cruel to tell this woman that simply wants to be alive for herself or husband and her other child that she is murdering her fetus all because she simply wants to live?

K @kaladin stormblessed , forgive me but I can’t help but chuckle from your posts in this thread. Why, you ask? Because I have always pictured you as the type that would chase kids, who just knocked a bird’s nest with eggs in it out of a tree, down the street yelling “Murderers!”
i crushed 8 grackle eggs with my bare hands last weekend

i am a savage

It's 24 weeks here.

For me thats a little bit long to realise you are pregnant and don't want it.

The folks that make it happen aren't only interested in late term abortions, they want enforced protection of cell clumps too, and don't kid yourself

I'll engage you on this if you'll stop putting words in my mouth and trying to frame me or anybody else in a certain way.
I didn't ever say any of it was a clump of cells.
But the person I responded to did in their own words frame. All abortion has legal murder. I didn't put those words in their mouth. That is their concrete blanket framing.

Roe v. Wade and the casey verdict, clearly states a compromise that before viability, the woman's health, privacy, and own social determination is of more important than society's interest in its potential future member. After viability there becomes an increased interest by society such that elective abortion is no longer allowed. At that point, only extenuating circumstances that increase the woman's social detriment, health risk, etc. Exceptions to the viability line of the sand.

This balance between a woman's body and the reality that a late-term pregnancy has now developed. Most of the way, is the current law of the land. I am in support of this. Undoing this is wrong.

Now quit trying to put words in my mouth. I deliver babies as a living. I try to keep women and babies healthy throughout the entire pregnancy. And I find it wildly offensive to come at me with a clump of cells talk. Trying to frame me as some soulless enemy on this conversation.

i think one of the deep south states is drafting a law where any fertilized egg, even if it doesn’t attach to the uterine wall that doesn’t come to term is an illegal abortion penalized like murder.

It may not be apparent to the average person, but that law is directly intended to make intrauterine devices illegal. IUDs help kill sperm before fertilization occurs. And in the event that fertilization does occur, prevents implantation into the uterine wall.

Because fertilization might occur in the IUD might then prevent that fertilized egg from becoming a pregnancy, some religious organizations, mostly Catholic, have targeted IUDs and some sort of variant of abortion.

Wouldn't it be smarter to go after mifepristone before going after IUD's?

Btw I mentioned mifepristone to @Lars and he thought it was the morning-after pill. What an idiot, right? Lol
