I was being facetious.

Retroactive abortion is walking up to some idiot like the guy doing dead deer in the other thread and announcing that we missed getting him in the womb; but we're here to correct that mistake by performing the abortion his mother should have had - retroactively, and then take him out.

I'm not in favor of institutionalized killing in any form, be it abortions or the death penalty. But a good argument against my stance is politicians. Perhaps one day a simple genetic test can determine if someone has a propensity to become a politician. I'd support abortion in that case. Or retroactive abortions if we missed them.
