Reply #86: Questioning having an abortion at 7 or 8 months makes you Ann Coulter now? [View All]

I really think you need to read over this thread. No one questioned having an abortion earlier in the pregnancy. Its just whether or not they should be happening in the 2nd and 3rd trimester without a good reason.

I think in the 2nd, and especially, 3rd trimestor, the fetus has SOME rights. Not equal to the mother, of course. And if giving birth is going to endager her life or there's something seriously wrong with the child, then she has every right to say she wants an abortion.

But if your dealing with a healthy fetus at 22 or 23 weeks. An abortion seems like such a waste. By that point you only have a few months to go and, couldn't the child just be adopted if you didn't want to take care of it?
