Hiya Everyone!
I'm pro-choice that allows the woman to decide whether she wants to have a baby or not. To me, though, this should be done responsibly. I would support legislation that makes abortion illegal once the baby's hearbeat starts. This means that if a woman gets pregnant, she needs to abort within four weeks once she knows that she is pregnant before the embryo's heart starts beating.
This brings us to partial-birth abortion. I would support legislation that makes partial-birth abortion illegal, except in the cases where the mother's life is in danger, rape, or incest. Having said that, I would only support legal abortion BEFORE the embryo's heart starts beating.
I'm attaching some links that explain partial-birth abortion. Please be warned that the descriptions are graphic and you may find disturbing. I think that the media doesn't really explain the actual procedure of partial-birth abortion.
I can never undertand why any pregnant woman would wait beyond 4 weeks to have an abortion, and to have one at 24 weeks where the baby is perfectly healthy blows my mind!
