I'm also pro-choice (like GolfWang), and I don't think a woman should //choose// to have an abortion after the first trimester, but if she is having health complications to the point where she could die, she should be able to get an abortion whenever.

Yeah, I agree. The law need not enforce the 9 month deal, it should be moral thing. So that if a woman needed to because of health complications, she wouldn't have to get pulled apart by the law.

It's stupid how abortion is legal.

they are going to die someday. BUT, if you hit a financial crisis (you get fired, you lose your house) then of course you should be able to have an abortion

At 9 months, shouldn't' you just give the baby up for adoption in that case?

Adoption doesn't work as well as everybody thinks it does. Plenty of children don't get adopted and are kicked out to fend for themselves when they're 18.

Well the alternative is to kill the person, which really doesn't make sense. Getting adopted > Dying

...there's the same risk of that for any other kid.

Health complications can come show up really late. So no, it's not stupid.

If a health problem shows up late, the doctors could take the baby out beforehand using a cesarean section.

Exactly, with modern medicine the rate of women dying in childbirth or from other related health problems is extremely small.

It doesn't matter how few women die in pregancy. No one has the right to force a woman to die in childbirth.

When it comes to late abortions, it's not a black and white issue. First, late term abortions are very expensive, painful, traumatizing, and dangerous. No woman is going to wait nine months to get an abortion without a seriously compelling medical reason. Pregnancy and childbirth are extremely dangerous. Though rare, there are many serious problems and medical conditions that can make childbirth risky and even fatal for women. We need to allow late term abortions to ensure that women can safely remove the fetus with out her dying or getting seriously injured or disabled. If we try to save all these nine-month fetuses, we'll end up killing a lot of women. Outlawing late abortion won't save peoples lives because, either way, people will die. When you make a decision on this post, you should not just think about the baby, you should also think about the all the girls and women who could die if the government started forcing them into dangerous and unhealthy childbirth.

I'm 10000% pro-choice. I think that there's nothing wrong with abortion at all, and that it's the best choice for some people. BUUUUUT once a fetus can survive outside the womb, it changes things for me a bit. I mean, when it's a month-old fetus, it's barely anything- it can't feel, it's barely developed, it's not a person yet. But once it's able to survive outside the womb and if it's that far into pregnancy..that is a mostly developed baby. AND it's all excited thinking it's going to live, too! It would be so rude to carry a baby for months and months then just go "oh jk hahah". I'd be such a mad fetus if someone aborted me then.

(trolling all the way) they should just make it a few dozen times longer that it is legal, that way canada would have the most well behaved children of any country!
