Late Term Abortion

[PBI]

If that's the case, that the debate is utterly polarized into extremist fanatics on both sides, then it seems to me that the "abortion is murder" crowd are at least as culpable for the fact that late term abortion is still legal as those who defend it. If, rather than labelling their opponents as "baby-murderers" and trying to force an outright ban on all abortion which no one in their right mind could ever agree to, they were more reasonable and actually tried to reach a compromise, they might get somewhere.

I rather suspect that their interest lies more in all the fun of incendiary rhetoric and condemning their enemies than in actually trying to reduce the abortion rate. I am familiar with the type from my old student protesting days: A good deal of "activists" would be there because they enjoyed all the fun and palaver of a protest and the sense of righteousness that comes with having a moral "cause" rather than because they actually cared about the issue.

Edit:
Panzer, my girlfriend used to work on a neonatal intensive care unit, and I'm afraid to say that although yes it is technically possible for a baby born a 20 weeks to survive, most will not and almost all of the rest will be severely brain damaged.
