Yes, I've seen the pics Maggot.
Unless it's abnormal, the fetus looks a lot like that at 20 weeks regardless as to whether the woman is 'colored' or white, regardless as to how long the woman knew she was pregnant, regardless as to whether the woman was raped, regardless as to whether the woman is likely to die in childbirth, regardless of the woman's intelligence or laziness level, and regardless as to how many Jews were killed in Nazi Germany.
None of which has anything to do with why you one would choose 8 - 10 (or 12) weeks as the cutoff, thereby reducing women's opportunity to legally abort by 1⁄2 to 2/3; long before the point of fetal pain capacity or viability outside the womb.
If the pic is your way of saying that you think women should be allotted much less time to choose/get abortions because the more developed the fetus the more sad the sight makes you, regardless of the fact that it can't survive on its own outside the womb and can't feel pain, at least that's relevant and honest -- and I understand the emotion.
^ This is a fetus between 8 and 12 weeks. It's just as sad for me to imagine it being aborted and I personally wouldn't make that choice. But, I don't believe that my emotions and circumstances should dictate the rights of any/all other women.
