**I also believe that a fetus is a potential person. The closer it gets to birth, the greater the potential. A third trimester fetus has such a high potential to become a person that I would need a very good reason to abort it. One of the very few good reasons would be that the mother's life was in danger. **

Well..you're just everywhere on this board, huh? ;o)

Let's discuss this for a bit. A fetus (actually Latin for baby) can be aborted in the third trimester if the mothers life were in danger, right? Are you not aware that a third trimester unborn baby can live outside the mothers womb? So, why would you want to suck the brains out, killing it, in order to save the mother.

I experienced severe toxemia in my pregnancy. In order to save my life the Doctors opted to deliver my child. In doing so they saved my life and that of my baby, 5 weeks premature. What makes you think that the mothers life can be saved but the baby is up for debate. You assume much but know little.

I really do not want to do that. You may want me to want to do that, but I don't.

If the baby that is dangerous to the health of the mother can be delivered and made to live, of course I would want to go that route.

Same here, I had the same illness in more than one pregnancy. No one ever suggested killing my child to save me. Partial birth abortion is never medically necessary.
