We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Explain, in detail please, what's wrong with late term abortions?
If a woman has carried a child for over 8 months, isn't that a demonstration of her desire to have that child? If her doctor advises her that carrying the child to full term is dangerous to her health, doesn't she have the right to make that choice?
If a child is going to be born with severe problems that would cause the child to have a very short life full of pain and suffering, why shouldn't the parents have that option?
This is a bad argument. If the child was carried to 8 months and there were complications, the doctors would induce birth and the child would go to the NICU and be fine.
Children can't grow a brain stem that isn't there. Or make a malformed heart work There are complications that cannot be treated
My claim is that either way there isn't an abortion. There would be an induced birth, and at 8 months, if the child doesn't have a rare issue, it would go to the NICU.
Anybody calling an induced birth an abortion is either ignorant or arguing in bad faith.
You changed your position. That's okay!
Still, there are times when abortions make more sense from a health perspective. There are also times when induced birth makes more sense. Why ban a life saving procedure? No mother wants to have an abortion at that stage, so they would go with that latter option every time that they could.
But sometimes that's too risky for the health of the mother. So instead of a dead baby, you have a dead baby and dead mother. If it's banned, pregnancy becomes more dangerous for any mother
