Should post-birth abortions be legal?

[Хahar 🤔]

Since migrendel supports it, does this mean all Clinton supporters do?

[12th Doctor]

Well, really whats the difference?  An infant isn't really a person, if you think about it.  It has no life of its own.  It's just a parasite that sucks off its mother.

And no, I haven't lost my mind, and I'm not just being an asshole, I am interested to see what someone who supports abortion, particularly late term, has as their reasoning to why this should not be.

A born infant could theoretically be raised by another parent, whereas a fetus is dependent on the mother's body.

I don't support late term or partial birth; to me, life begins when a fetus can live outside of the womb.

Okay, just out of curiousity, would you think that if someone invites a handicapped person into their home, and then decides that the handicapped person is a nuisance, would the homeowner be justified in shooting the handicapped person?

Only for the OP of this thread.

Certainly not!

You just fell right into his trap!! Lord help us

Viability changes with advances in medical science.  When Roe v. Wade was decided, the average viability would have been 6-8 weeks ahead of what it can be now.

Can you really define human life's beginning as something which is constantly changing?

The handicapped person is not dependent on the homeowner to live; they can go somewhere else.

No - infanticide is a terrible atrocity.

Sorry, I just find this thread full of people individually declaring their hatred of killing babies on the pointless side.

Totally arbitrary.  Certainly since medical technology has now not only allowed pre-mature babies to live outside their mothers, but also it has allowed for the transfer of embryos.

The handicapped person is not dependent on the homeowner to live; they can go somewhere else.

Regardless, the woman still knew that the fetus would be staying in here uterus for nine months when she "invited" the sperm to produce the fetus into her uterus. I'm on the fence on this issue.

Yes, but you must remember it is the baby's fault the woman got pregnant, it couldn't possibly be her fault

[Reluctant Republican]

If the baby has serious problems and won’t be able to live for long anyway, then I don’t have a problem with a termination of the child’s life. This would of course be only done in extreme situations, but I believe that killing a newborn can occasionally be a more compassionate act then leaving a severally disabled child alive who will likely be dead within a few years anyway. I also support euthanasia, for what its worth. I remember watching my aunt die when I was like 9 and she just continued to cling to life even after weeks in the hospital. Eventually her lungs filled with blood and she drowned and died, but I’ve always thought it would be more humane to just give people a shot like we do for our pets and kill them when they become too ill.

But as for the main topic, in cases where the child won't live long anyway, yes.

[Flying Dog]

No.

Well, that is of course a different situation.
