>> What inode's position also suggests is that he places more importance on the fetus than the well being of the mother.

Not at all. If the mom's health is jeopardized I don't have a problem with her making the decision to have a late-term abortion.

The instances in which this is the case are EXCEEDINGLY RARE -- which is obvious from the fact that only a few physicians in the country are willing to perform the procedure.

I probably know 30 or 40 OB/GYNs and not one of them promotes him/herself as an abortionist. But I haven't any doubt that any one of them would perform a late-term abortion if necessary to save the life of the mother.

The reality is that it just isn't medically necessary in very many cases. It is just way, way extreme to not place limits on these abortions. Everyone knows what we're talking about here.

If a woman/girl wants an abortion she needs to make that decision early on.

Society should demand that much.
