I had a preemie at 34 weeks (7 1/2 months) who was able to go home 72 hours after birth.
Man, modern science is amazing, isn't it?

A few week old pregnancy is NOT the same as an almost full term pregnancy.
Agreed.
And a neonate is not the same as a prenate.

No one has late term abortions just for the hell of it.
Exactly.
And certainly not "on a whim".

Instead of defending the right to have one at any point, I think it is more helpful to actually use the facts to show how the numbers of late term abortions is very low and done under circumstances where there are problems with the health of the mother or the baby.
Actually, the reason I defend the right to "have one at any point" is precisely because I'm well aware of the facts.
Specifically, that the "whimsical" abortions Rockydem posited are riduclously propagandistic nonsense.
No woman aborts except for dire medical reasons just prior to birth... hell, at any point after viability.

And to your point, given the nature of Rockydems posts, do you honestly believe they are looking for *facts*?
