Maggot,
Again, you can label me anything you want Maggot. That's your thing and I don't mind.
I've already clearly explained my views and answered questions without hesitation or evasiveness. No hair-splitting from me.
According to what you just posted, you appear to be basing your opinions on how long YOU think it should take women to make a decision of that magnitude, rather than on the development of the fetus.
I know that all women are different, as are their circumstances. Some might be on birth control and have no reason to suspect that they might be pregnant until they miss a period, by which time they could already be past 8 weeks when they go to get tested. That happens frequently. Some might already have children and a job that would be jeopardized if they went full term and gave birth, so they and their partners need time to weigh the various options and impacts before making that hard choice. Etc...
Sometimes people need more than a couple of weeks to decide between their options so they know they're making the best choice, whatever choice that may be. It's a big decision. It shouldn't be rushed before the 20th week --the earliest point that most doctors believe a fetus could possibly feel pain -- just because people who have no personal stake in the decision think women should operate on their timeline and according to their religious or moral beliefs. That's bullshit. That's what I think.
I wouldn't be so presumptuous or self-righteous as to impose such restrictions on strangers without a thoughtful and balanced reason, such as pain to the fetus or viability outside the womb.
The percentage of abortions past 21 weeks is less than 2%. Past 20 weeks would also be a low percentage. Some of that relatively small number might be lazy, stupid and unintelligent - I wouldn't know and it's irrelevant. If you're basing your cut-off position on punishing those such women rather than a reasonable & thoughtful criteria, you better hope nobody narrowly restricts your right to decide something major as a form of punishment against self-righteous, ignorant, and presumptuous males.
Ya bitch!
