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.
ReplyDeleteCan an abortionist set his own criteria for when he is willing to do a late term abortion?
