I’ve heard a number of prominent liberals, as well as liberals I know personally, support late-term abortion. NO RESTRICTIONS SHOULD BE PLACED ON “WOMEN’S RIGHTS.”
I don’t actually understand where the line should be drawn, and why, personally. According to studies between 2003 and 2005, 20 to 35 percent of babies born at 23weeks of gestation survive, while 50 to 70 percent of babies born at 24 to 25 weeks, and more than 90 percent born at 26 to 27 weeks, survive. It is rare for a baby weighing less than 500 g (17.6 ounces) to survive.
Clearly, medicine has vastly improved over the past decade and a half, and these numbers are outdated. Smaller and younger babies are now surviving more and more often.
So… is abortion at 22 weeks ok? When they were just a WEEK from being able to survive? How quickly does a week go? That mother couldn’t wait ONE MORE WEEK and give that baby a chance at life with a family that loves it?
Ok – let’s say we’ll give it a week. What about 2 weeks? Is 2 weeks too much to ask? At 20 weeks, babies can be aborted pretty widely. Babies that were mere WEEKS from being able to survive outside the womb.
Think about it. We’re three weeks into January. Doesn’t it feel like it’s gone by in a blink? A baby that was aborted on New Years Day could have been cooing in someone’s arms today.
Anyway… Youtube FOR SOME REASON put this on my “Recommended for you” list. (Don’t ask me why. I don’t know.)
I need someone who’s ok with a baby who could have survived outside the womb being aborted to explain to me what this girl did wrong:
So… did the fact that this baby actually came out of a vagina in one piece make this girl a monster?
Is it the fact that she stabbed him herself, instead of having a “Stabbing Professional” sever his spinal cord for her?
WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL!?
OH RIGHT! IT’S THE MAGICAL BIRTH CANAL!
