Anti-abortionists don't believe that life begins at conception.

If you don't want a baby, would you:

1. Take a small pill and be done with it.
2. Suffer the pains of a long pregnancy before doing an expensive and very dangerous medical procedure that carries a risk of severe health effects or just outright kill you.

I'm pretty sure I'll go with 1...

Late term abortions(late second and all of third trimester) are always done because something has gone terribly wrong, either to the fetus or the mother. There are some anecdotes about a tiny number of abortions being performed where the mother was unaware of her pregnancy for quite a few months, but I am unsure of the truth in that claim.

Yes, 1 seems the more logical choice, but I could imagine cases where mothers become anxious and have a late abortion without anyone stopping them even though the anxiety may just be temporary, like some people become anxious before they get married.

I just found a study that even cites financial reasons: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...ions/?page=all

I don't really agree with ending a life for financial reasons unless it's an animal.

There's a whole batch of research on late-term abortions here if you're interested, including the report brutalized by washington post.

Medical reasons are ok, so are mental reasons. But if you are just too lazy to make sure you don't get pregnant you just don't have the right to terminate a life. I am all for letting them watch the beating heart that's growing in their womb, and showing pictures of the fingers that are slowly developing. That is cruel, I know. Will probably traumatise them really bad. Suck it up, already shoved it up.

That serves no other purpose than the intentional infliction of pain.

Or not being very considerate, of course it cruel. But imho the stance on abortion is very old-fashioned, times have changd, more than enough foster-parents. It's a relic out of the sixties.

Yeah, I heard there are no more orphanages any more.

[Husar]

Why is death preferable to an orphanage?

[Fragony]

There probably are, but wouldn't you want to balance things out as a human being, there is no need for abortions, there are waiting lists for parents who want to adopt someone. Why kill anything really.

Sorry Fragony, there is a desperate need of Foster-parents here, and the ratio is at an all-time low.

Could be, I don't how it's in England, here is a waiting list.
