Most states have already solved that problem for you. I'm talking about a federal law.

But I am just curious that when you put out a statement like you did, that across the board, a pregnancy that hits 20 weeks should be delivered rather than aborted (for whatever range of reasons there may be), I am curious as to how you then propose those mothers and children are cared for and their health care paid for. Because until you can answer that, you can't impose it.

There are few states that allow one to abort after a set number of weeks. I'd be willing to consider 24 weeks to be the cut-off (as a number of states do), but I think there should be an option for women who want to abort later in the pregnancy. I still think the child should have an opportunity to live at that point. I'd imagine that there would be fewer children surviving than there are currently in "the system." And, I'm not at all against social programs that are effective.
