Karen, E, it's been a while since I posted at SI, and a longer while since I felt I had anything useful to add to a discussion. We all have our off-months, but here goes:

Late-term abortions are very often the result of a mother/family finding significant problems with the fetus that will result in zero "quality-of-life" for the human-to-be and huge and fruitless medical bills for the parent(s) or the state. When Roe v. Wade occurred, technology didn't allow the knowledge of fetal health that is often (but not always) available now. I have two kids with a disorder called PKU; they are fine, wonderful kids but one of them is a teen who could bear children. Were her levels not under control FROM INCEPTION, her fetus could have severe developmental abnormalities that would not show up until the sixth or seventh month - microcephalia, anencephalia, etc. Would she, under the wrong circumstances, wish to bear that child? Would I want her to do so?
