You get downvoted hard, but I’m not sure why. I think we all agree that putting someone into prison for an abortion is controversial at best. However, 20 weeks into pregnancy… that’s only 2 weeks before it’s considered to have a chance of survival at a premature birth.
At one point does it become murder? What if you kill your child right after a premature birth? I’m sure we all agree that’s bad. So it’s okay to kill the child if it’s inside the womb, but not once it gets out?
Again, I’m not against abortions, but 20 weeks… man… that’s rough.
Let’s ignore this case for a moment due to how problematic it is (no doctor consulted for her, done at 28 weeks, burning the stillborn, etc). 20 weeks is not rough. The chance of survival at 22 weeks is about 15% and most of those will have a hard road ahead if they even make it past the first year.
At what point it is okay for the abortion should be figured out between the woman and her doctor, not you or me. Your other questions are not worth responding to since that answer takes care of all of them.
