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.
I was going to say something similar, but I think you covered it already.
Just want to add that even where late term abortions are allowed and available, they’re still very rare. Most people have made the decision to have the child by then, or would have already terminated. So the notion that “if we allow late term abortions then everyone’s going to do it” is not reflective of reality. By far the most common reason for late term abortion is medical complications, like severe fetal anomolies, the pregnancy becoming risky to the mother’s health, etc. At which point, it’s no longer simply a choice to not have a child.
