I am sure some women do change their mind when they are seven months along when this procedure is infanticide. There needs to be a time limit on abortion...but health and risk of fatality need to be taken into consideration. I would be certain that the women who may have had to do this to save their own lives had many regrets and wished they did not have to make that decision. Some will continue at the risk of dying. And...I am sure some women have not gave a damn about a baby who is truly a baby at the time. Many people who do not want the "life or health of the mother" option usually are punitive individuals who believe that nothing could ever happen to them and believe there are not health issues for others.
I am not an MD so I cannot say for certain which way is which; however, many women do die from childbirth. We do need the time limits on abortion as I mentioned before but many "liberals" love to punish women as well. And...most people love to say that they know what is "good" for women and how to protect them from themselves as if we are fucking children. I am sick of how women get awarded huge settlements in divorce cases when they willingly left a marriage or contributed nothing to it. I am all for females being responsible for their lives but I am also sick of being preached to about not being allowed access to a procedure should our health or lives depend on it. Many women do not abort just because they can no longer fit into a dress. Each "side" also tend to alter the facts a little.
I knew one pagan who even said that it was a normal thing for a woman to die from childbirth and how he would choose the baby over his wife. Very typical which is why I sort of lean more towards conservatism but remain very pro-choice. At least, I know where I stand with conservatives. Quite a few pro-choicers want women to suffer for aborting. Even during labour, the doctor will ask the woman to make the choice between herself pr the baby if problems come up that threaten the mother's life. Many Catholic hospitals have guidelines stating that the woman's life is secondary. We have not come that far. All I am saying is that I am glad to be "fixed" so I do not have to deal with trying to find an abortion if/when the normal procedure is outlawed or so hacked up that a provider cannot be found. Besides, I do not have intercourse so that is another worry off my head.
