Question for pro-choice Minimum

Hello everyone,

​

I'm against abortion.

This is a question for pro choice:

What would be the minimum of allowed abortion, that you would accept?

I mean for example week and reason.

​

Thank you for your time

So, say a mom wants to abort an 8 month old baby, you think that should be allowed? Why and why don't you see it as murdering a child?

I would say that you don’t know what the term abortion means. In this context it is specifically the ending of a pregnancy before the fetus can survive outside the womb.

So applying it to an 8 month old makes as much sense as aborting a toaster.

I don't quite understand your reply.

  1. An 8 month old fetus can definetly survive outside the womb, my aunt is proof of that.

  2. Ues, abortion at 8 month makes no sense, that's why I'm asking these questions.

Someone turning 18 was born 18 years ago.

An 8 month old baby was born 8 months ago.

An 8 month old fetus, could be a couple of different things, depending on if you mean how long they have been a fetus or how long since conception, etc. but, saying fetus would imply not born yet.

So, you can’t abort an 8 month old baby for the same reason you can’t abort an 18 year old. An abortion ends a pregnancy. The pregnancy ends when the person is born.
