iirc it takes 9 months to birth a human on average. So someone could say abortion should be allowed at 8.9 month and someone can also say just 1 week.

I’m waiting for someone to say abortion should be allowed at 8.9 months cause i want to hear the reasoning.

Here’s my hot take: (ib4 ban) we should develop tech like artificial uteruses and just move unwanted baby/fetus/idk-the-terminology into these instead BUT we should also have a comprehensive social welfare program to raise ALL children/humans, and not conservative welfare where it’s like 1 mother figure taking care of 6 children with food stamps.

Given what i know about 2022 technology: if conservatives gave a hoot about child/fetus welfare, they’re have comprehensive social welfare programs, which would reduce the number of abortions bc at least the mother figure won’t be #rekt financially by have 6 kids.

    If you have a 1 year old child that needs an organ or will die and you are a match, you are not required by law to give it to them. I don’t know many people who would make this decision, but we allow this and not abortions past the point of viability. If a mother’s health is severely compromised and they will die or be seriously injured bringing a 8.9 month baby into the world, it should be their choice. With that being said, at 8.9 months we can definitely drop the baby into a NICU and neither have to die so this hypothetical rests on false assumptions.
