ON that matter of life of the mother,

In all cases (particularly in the US), carrying to term is a greater threat to life of the mother than abortion, at pretty much any stage other than the rather late stage things which are likely outside of this discussion

So, what defines life of the mother? Again, abortion in all its forms prior to say week 26 improves the life chances of the mother. So in all cases, carrying to term is a life threat, comparatively, to the mother. How are we to describe law around this?

What is "mainly - life of the mother"?? Is it,sure as hell she's gonna die, is it, well, she is only twice as likely to die? Law would require I imagine a number, could you provide one (knowing, that in all cases, she is safer if she aborts).

hi clo,

well, we differ on this. premature babies deserve a shot, if a hospital can give it to them. i set my bar for voluntary abortion somewhere in the 10-13 weeks zone, long before this is an issue. that's enough time to make a choice and to avoid making decisions of the type you invite. indeed, that is exactly why i set the bar much earlier. after the 10-13 week threshold, i'd permit abortion only on medical grounds (mainly, life of the mother). and once there is hope of viability, seek to save a life.

if a person does not make a choice in 10-13 weeks - which is enough time - i think adoption is the best option available.
