abortion clarification

[Don Corleone]

No, a free society should minimize it. There should be as few areas as possible where the belief of one group is pushed on another.

So, I'm curious HoreTore, if passing through the birth canal is a magical event that immediately and uniquely confers 'humanity' on a being, does that mean I can kill people that I know were delivered through Cesearean section with impunity?

And by the way, Europe and America are very different places. 2% of all abortions (and that's a total of about 1million) of the elective abortions performed in the US are performed in the 3rd trimester. That's approximately 20,000 a year.

Forgetting about the legal side of things for a moment, I would like to see Planned Parenthood and the rest start to actually work towards their stated goal of the past 30 years of working to reduce the occurrence of abortion. When I was in high school back in the 1880's, erh, I mean 1980's, the cool thing for the pro-choice to say was "safe and legal but unnecessary and unheard of". Guess there's too much money in chopping up fetuses, as it has grown well beyond the rate of poplulation for the 30+ years it's been legal.
