What I'm getting at is people that want an abortion in any case at any time. I don't mean if all of a sudden in the 8th month a baby that would come out dead would be aborted to also save the mom's life. There are people like that in this thread.

I have seen children alive having to be forced into partuition [sp?] at 5 months.
I have seen a friend decide to have an abortion at 6 months because she found out her child she was carrying had a gross genetic abnormality, which could cause severe retardation, anencephaly [sp?] and barely any internal organ development if born--and if not born stillborn...
And I have seen my godfather, an OB/GYN having being put under the gun by congress during the the Clinton Administraton because he was accused of doing one too many abortions--forget the fact that the pro-lifers were counting "spontaneous abortions"--miscarriages and that the women could not keep the child in the womb for reasons folks have not really understood...
So, it doesn't matter what folks say, I think folks change when they walk a mile in one's shoes and are in the situation exactly what they will do...
