Patterico pointed out claims that only a small number of late-term abortions are due to complications like the ones I thought changed my moral (as opposed to legal) stance on most late-term abortions.
So who's right? Would most D&Xed [so-called "partial-birth aborted"] fetuses die soon anyway or have to undergo extensive and risky surgery, or not?

My moral stance on it is that each case is different. Aborting a late-term baby without a real good reason is morally wrong. But, my definition of what is a good reason is going to differ from others. Ultimately I think the decision has to be up to the mother. And she has to live with it.
