"Abortions to 24 weeks"
First dont get me wrong: I belive in birth control and keeping abortion legal early in pregnancy. However recently when doing a report on the issue, I discovered that most websites for individual clinics advertise with providing elective abortion services up to 24 weeks. I have heard about the methods and they are grusome but this isnt about how the abortion is performed, its just that abortion shouldnt be on demand at the point were the baby could survive outside the womb.
Recently, a little girl born premature at 21 weeks age was discharged from a hospital in florida and she is now thriving with her family.
The conservative party of England recently introduced a law that prohibits abortions at 20 weeks on except in the cases of fetal deformity. Note the conservative party in england is actually a liberal party on other issues.
What bothers me the most is that democrat politicians have there hands over their ears when it comes to limits on late term abortion. This concerns me as a Presbyterian democrat, because I feel forced to choose between voting for someone who will bring our soldiers home, and someone who will change a law that is affecting our society.
How is it that a woman who gives birth at say 22 weeks and throws her baby in a dumpster is charged with murder, yet a diffrent woman with a healthy baby can get an abortion at 24 weeks without any penalty.
Abortions this late are rare, but even so, there are sick people who will justify killing a healthy baby who can surive with medical help, that is why even if this happens rarley we still, as a society, cannot allow such horrors to go on without justice.
