Exactly what limits do you propose be placed on those who want to abort a baby? In the case of rape? Incest? Life threatening problems for the mother?

The person who posted this thread is not suggesting those type of limits on the right to abort. He/She says that a woman should be able to choose abortion if she does the deed while the child/baby is incapable of living without the live giving support of the mothers body.

If a woman does not want a child then she needs to take measures to avoid being impregnated. Abstinence is the most effective form of birth control, I would suggest those who would murder their own child practice this method instead!!

Well, I am. And I've proudly been practising (actually perfecting, I'd say, given my 0000 strike rate) birth control for almost half a lifetime.

I'm all for abortion as birth control in _very_ limited circumstances. However, given the birth control available in the western world, I've never had to resort to it, and Gold help me, I never will. So that's where I differ with the writer of this article... and with you, sir or madam...

trussel i agree that people should take steps to avoid pregnancy. But that is not an option and is not an issue once a female IS pregnant and your point become moot at that point. As for you rmurder position...Must not one be alive to be murdered? I offer that one is not alive when depedant upon another's life to survive. The day that time passes and that being can survive without that dependancy upon the mother, and medical issues do not apply, I will agree that at that point it is murder. Hence my oposition to late term abortion for the purpose of simply terminating it.
