^ Yep, like most things that are debated these days each opposing group goes so far in the opposite direction from each other that they lose sight of common sense.

I definitely support abortion up until the end of the first trimester. I'm going with this amount of time because that is how long we were told to wait to hear our daughters heartbeat. Also, 15-20% of pregnancies end naturally from miscarraige during this time because so much is going on. We learned this the first time my wife was pregnant and had a miscarraige in her 9th week. In fact, the docs will often warn you not to tell too many people before the end of the first trimester just in case.

I would probably support some legislation banning abortion after the first tri-mester though. I mean, unless the girl is just plain stupid she should have known she was pregnant for a while and 10-12 weeks is a lot of time to make up your mind. Certainly no abortions should be allowed after the point where a fetus could make it outside of the womb.

The problem is that both sides want all or nothing and can not compromise. If the pro-lifers get any laws against late term abortion they'll use it as a springboard to get all abortions banned and won't stop until they've succeeded. It's no wonder the pro-abortion groups won't yeild any ground.

Damn, why can't people just use common sense anymore.
