re: #206 Sergey Romanov

But that’s not the argument given. As stated by multiple people, the argument is that it’s a highly personal medical decision about a woman’s body and reproductive rights. I don’t see how you can hit a certain stage of development and that right is now fully null and void. What if the woman reaches the 7th month and realizes she made the wrong decision and wants to abort. Because it’s a month later she no longer has the right? You can’t claim viability because there are instances of babies born at 20 weeks or less in extreme cases that can survive with massive assistance. It seems arbitrary or politically expedient to say you are pro-choice, but we’ll take away that choice/right once you hit a specific point in the pregnancy. As long as the unborn child/fetus/zygote (depending on the stage of development) is still inside the woman, how can her rights be denied?
