26. I'm pro choice but not when it's the day before the kid would be born
Edited on Mon Jan-31-05 06:09 PM by superconnected
I call that murder.

The first 3-4 months is okay with me. 4 months is stretching it and she better have a life threatning reason because I saw it as life from the beginning - with her having a choice to terminate it. By the 6th month, I see it as a life that could survive on it's own without her. People have had babies at 6 months term that have lived.

I understand some people are pro simply not getting pregnant, but mistakes happen. Not taking care of it in the first 3 months strikes me as far more irresponsible than simply getting pregnant accidentally in the first place. I say get your tests in the first 3 months, make it possible for some people to wait as long as 3.5-4 for extreme cases where they missed something, and after that call it murder and tax the mother for being an idiot. In fact I'm pro throwing her in jail after 5 months, for murder, if she terminates it then.
