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?

If he has to pay for it, then he should get a say.

Abortions here do not happen to an embryo. I imagine you know this though. The embryo stage is up to 8 weeks. Fetal abnormalities are not diagnosed until the 10-11 weeks at the earliest.

We tax payers have to pay for/subsidize the children of people who cannot afford them. Does that mean we get a say in whether they have an abortion or not?

An abortion can cost as little as $200 ... even less, for drug treatments. So many of the pro-lifers want to protect the unborn, but asking them to pay higher taxes to support social services for the many problems caused by all those extra people, who will end up being hospitalized or permanently institutionalized and they have a fit!

My point exactly, a few hundred dollars vs. thousands upon thousands of dollars from birth to adulthood. And as a pro-choicer, I fully support women who are responsible enough to abort a fetus they cannot afford.

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.
