I'll answer your question after you Tell us if you are still beating your spouse.
I think beating your spouse at any time should be illegal.
Can you tell me if you believe there should be laws (not if there are but if you think there should be) limiting when an elective abortion can occur? Example, do you believe they can be legal up to 39 weeks? If not, why?

Define elective. A termination of pregnancy at 39 weeks will result in a live viable infant (unless the infant has lethal medical malformations) and thus"abortion" is not possible.

The woman does not want the baby because she broke up with the father. No medical reasons.
How is an abortion not possible? A doctor could puncture the skull, vacuum the cranial cavity and then induce labor to expel the baby.
Is it your belief that this should be against the law?
That is nonsense. No baby is aborted at 39 weeks. Late term abortion means 20 to 27 weeks gestation and are almost always done for either lethal abnormalities of the baby of because the mother's life is in danger.
There is never a reason to kill the fetus after viability (appx 22 weeks) to save a mothers life. Fetuses were being aborted after 27 weeks which is why the law banning them after 24 came into existence. (in total compliance with RvW)

I disagree. Just ask Santorum whose wife terminated her pregnancy due to sepsis. Survival of the fetus depends on the hearth of the mother and baby.

The fetus can die at the earliest stages and most times does die but there is never a reason to intentionally kill it. I don't know Santorum to ask him so I don't understand why people do this.
Do you feel there should be (not if there are, but if there should be) time limits on abortions? For example, do you feel it should be unlawful to have a purely elective abortion at 39 1/2 weeks? If you do, why?
An elective abortion at 39 1/2 weeks is impossible. Late term abortions are done via induced labor which produces a stillbirth because the fetus is not yet viable. To induce labor in a woman who is 39 1/2 weeks along would result in a live birth.

By the very definition of late term the fetus is viable. Inducing labor does NOT in itself cause death.

Late-term abortion is after 16 weeks, depending on individual state restrictions. A 16 week old fetus can't survive outside the womb.
