Maybe we could be more civil about this and set a date like they do in Europe. England has set it at 24 weeks - anything before is ok and anything after is illegal. Of course with medical advances they are considering moving the bar to 20 weeks.

I don't know whether you are aware or not, but that's the same path of Roe versus Wade. The court's conception was a trimester one: leave it in the hands of women in the first trimester, then the state had a progressively greater interest in the second and third trimester.

As for the battle over so-called "partial birth abortion", it's over whether the health of the mother is a variable. I've never understood the argument that says her health should be ignored.
