>>"How do you feel about this issue when the fetus is perfectly healthy? "<< I think the most humane thing to do is to give the fetus to YOU. Jim

Christine, I would not favor late term abortions for a healthy fetus and where the birth would not cause a probability of death for the mother. The latter would seem unlikely however. Like Elsa said, among others, there should be a cut-off time for a healthy fetus. It would have to be arbitrary though, as there is no clear cut time when a fetus is viable. There have been cases of women giving birth who didn't even know they were pregnant. Should they be given a choice if for instance they didn't find out that they were pregnant until say the sixth month? I dunno. Both sides of the issue need to try to come to a compromise. Del
