For those who think abortion is wrong, where do they draw the line?

6. Personally, I think a woman has a right to end her pregnancy

No right to end the life of the fetus per se, but if the fetus is not viable outside of the pregnancy, then that's a tragedy for the fetus, but you can't force a woman to continue a pregnancy against her will.

And you can't second guess her reasoning. Even if she entered into the pregnancy voluntarily, she can change her mind for any reason.

So to my mind, abortion might be wrong only when the fetus is viable outside the pregnancy. At that point, the woman wanting to end her pregnancy should try to find a way to do so while preserving the life of the fetus.

That said, even then she can still take into consideration the risks involved, for instance, she can't be forced to have a dangerous delivery if an abortion would be a safer procedure for her.

In short, it's pretty much all the woman's choice.


It annoys me to no end that so many forced-pregnancy advocates will, in other contexts, insist that freedom and liberty are worth killing and dying for, but I guess that doesn't apply to women....
