It is a moving benchmark and it is going to continue move for the foreseeable future. 18 weeks may be sensible at this point; five years from now, who knows. Now, a strong argument can be made who believe abortion at any point is killing -- that if it is killing at 18 weeks then it is at 14. That is a compelling argument to me, even though am pro-choice but not without restrictions. If we do, as Al suggested, and make it the woman's decision, we will have late-term abortions from now on. I once knew a woman who, at 24, had her sixth abortion. I told her, "That's nuts. WTH don't you use birth control?" She said, "It is no big deal. You go in, you're out in a couple hours, it is handled." This was stupidity. That woman now has a Ph.D. and is a successful real estate developer to boot. So she wasn't totally stupid but at that time it was just a bizarre moral/ethical placement.
