254. Why even throw that little caveat in there?
Because I'm a man, I cannot have an opinion in this matter? But if you want an honest answer, I'll give it to you. If the baby is viable, then I believe that it would be wrong. Of course there are exceptions in the case of medical necessity, and I don't believe Fitzsimmons when he says that most late-term abortions are elective. It just doesn't make sense that a woman would carry a baby for several months only to decide that at such a late stage that she didn't want it anymore.

But even if a woman did decide at a late stage that she just didn't want to carry it, why not simply remove the baby, but allow it to live? Put it up for adoption? Do you believe that a woman should be allowed to terminate a pregnancy right up until the moment before birth? If you're going to ask me where to draw the line, would you even draw a line at all?
