| Quote: I am pro choice for the first trimester only. Late term abortions make me uneasy by then. I just figure by then the baby could have a chance of living if it were to be born..plus the woman has had a long while to decide if she has wanted it or not. If you're still pregnant by that point it is for a reason  and there is more of a chance that woman's life could be at risk the later the abortion is performed. The only exception I would make is it it was an emergency with the baby or mother's health or some sudden discovery about the baby's condition.
For late term abortion providers, I think there may be one in Seattle atleast for 5 months or so. Not sure. | Well, I'm pretty much right there with you.
I am profoundly disturbed by anyone using abortion as their contraception. And I am pretty much appalled by people using abortion to get rid of a "problem" baby.
But for those cases where the mother's life is in serious jeopardy (such as with mirror syndrome) or illnesses of the baby will be nill as they live painful and short lives, such as with Edward's syndrome... For those cases, I do believe in the legal right to late-term abortions and to their accessibility to whatever women may need to avail themselves of it.
So, it makes me uncomfortable, but my comfort isn't at issue here. __________________  Sunny
