    My personal opinion is 21 Weeks from conception. With the only one exception being if the pregnant woman's life is in severe jeopardy by continuing the pregnancy, which must be confirmed by multiple medical staff with supporting imagery and do entation.

    This number is based on the fact that the Guinness Book of World Records' record-youngest premature fetus to survive as a living baby (i.e., viability outside the womb) is 21 weeks and 3 days from conception.

    The doctor and medical staff should have to sign a one-page affidavit confirming this (the abortion is done before 21 weeks from conception and/or the pregnant woman's life is in severe jeopardy, with do ented evidence) and if it's perjured they're liable for both perjury and homicide.

    Before 21 Weeks from conception, I believe abortion should be safe/rare/legal and have no prerequisites or excuses required (rape, medical, religious/spiritual, convenience, financial, age, etc are all fine to me for early term abortions... I don't believe an excuse or exception should be required).

    The doctor and medical staff must still file affidavits for every abortion confirming exact or best-extrapolated estimated date of conception and date of abortion.

    What is ST's opinion?

    15 - 25 weeks outside of cir stances with health concerns for the mother

    Also aborting fetuses with Down syndrome should be encouraged (yes, I’m pro eugenics)

    everyone is pro-eugenics, its the degree that matters

    people decide who their mate will be based on all kinds of characteristics, which determines what kind of kid they'll have. people typically dont inbreed. theres the social stigma, legality, but also the likelihood of developmental disorders, etc.

    also not really sure thats really a eugenics position when it comes to down syndrome. males with down syndrome are almost always infertile anyway, and im not sure but the % of women with down syndrome who end up having kids is also probably quite low. saying you should abort fetuses with down syndrome isnt really a measure taken to eradicate down syndrome from the population, rather its one that will make life a lot easier for the would-be parents and allowing them to recoup and refocus their parenting efforts on a child more likely to themself have a fulfilling, happy life

    obviously when people say "eugenics" they usually refer to more extreme measures. even then, "encouraging" aborting down syndrome fetuses isnt really extreme. rather, something damn near requiring it, or making it a legal requirement for people with down syndrome to be castrated... that would be the extreme "eugenics" position.

    any position i take on abortion limits would be contingent on the guarantee of basic necessities being provided. periodic prenatal appointments, ultrasounds, genetic testing, etc.

    something like 5-10% of pregnant woment dont get basic prenatal care. and then stuff like genetic testing is done less than 50% of the time.

    get me assurances of availability and education on birth control, and guarantee of adequate prenatal care, then i'll talk limits

    See, you always have to get the feud going again. I come to you with an olive branch and you beat me with it.

    Did you see the short story I'm writing about you & the missus over in The Club? It's a genuine love story.

    His installation is why the nation is run by an Islamic nut trying to start WW3 in Israel. We really ed ourselves all in the name of fellating BP when Persia wanted to nationalize their oil industry.

    There’s no call yet in Ohio, but the Edison Research exit poll conducted for the TV news networks strongly suggest the state cons utional amendment to establish a right to an abortion will pass.

    The numbers will change through the night, but the most interesting divides are along age (82 percent of voters under 30 voted yes, but only 46 percent of seniors did), marital status (married voters split evenly, but 68 percent of unmarried voters voted yes) and party ID (Democrats voted for it 92-8, Republicans 19-81 and independents 64-36).

    The only limit I support is limiting who gets to decide, and it's not a bunch of boomer men in government positions.

    That's the moderate opinion, and I agree with it.


    no restriction on abortion

    it remains an issue strictly between the doctor and the female, zero govt intervention
    That's the extremist left-wing opinion. Do you really support a woman who's 39 or 40 weeks pregnant, belly the size of a watermelon, who just all of sudden decides she wants to have an abortion and end the baby's life because she's can't afford the baby? Don't you believe that the doctor should be legally obligated to save the baby, maybe give him/her up for adoption in the event they must terminate the pregnancy, rather than killing the baby?

    Also must have adopted at a minimum of two unwanted infants.

    Talk the talk, walk the walk. Sacrifice.
    The parents I personally know who have 3 adopted kids from China are pro choice.
    Go figure... And the kids are doing quite well in a big happy family.
