Although I agree with you, we can't possibly, as a society give the go-ahead to aborting some fetuses that we deem not worthy of protection, and on a clear bill of health prevent the abortion of "normal" fetuses.
We just can't go there. To have to prove medically that your baby doesn't have value, doesn't have the protections that other babies have under the law is just territory that's too dark.
That's what abortion was first restricted to...the first trimester.
If you were raped then that is still time enough to get an abortion.
What is the issue here ? If you want to wait until you are about to go into labor then save up and fly to NYC for your abortion.
The difficulty is the pregnancy that is hidden past 15 weeks because of fear of the repercussions that revealing it will entail, such as when the victim of rape or incest is very young.
As with other laws there will can difficult scenarios

I agree with this. No way, the implications are not good.
Hardly anyone bases their vote on the abortion issue.
Previously, nobody really had to.
