  You really think that all medical conditions can be fixed?

  They can’t be.

  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.

      The child would go to the NICU and be fine

      If the child doesn’t have a rare issue

      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
