I wonder what the specific choice for the 20th week in particular is.

And I wonder what happens if on the 21st week (or later), the doctors recognize that there are complications with the pregnancy that may cause the woman to die (with the incoming baby anyway) if the pregnancy isn't terminated. I would still think that shades of gray and unfortunate circumstances could potentially exist after 20 weeks of pregnancy, although women could have decided in ideal circumstances to abort or not abort beforehand.

Hey how do you enforce this? They probably won't admit when they had sex/conceived, besides who really knows the exact night you get pregnant?... Any objective way to differentiate 21 week from 19 week? I'm probably supposed to know but I'm blanking so hard right now. Maybe use respiratory bronchioles as a landmark? They develop around that time... however it's different for every fetus.

I think it's reasonable, except for the part "herpa derp abortions make you infertile!!!"

You don't need 20 weeks to decide weather or not you want your baby.

although at a glance a lot of people would probably agree with you, myself included, i dont think its smart to say it like that because it is a hard decision. it takes people months to decide whether or not they really want to get married to their bf / gf and im certain that aborting your child is more than just a "yea i slept on it and i decided" kind of choice.

That argument could be applied to a 3 month old or a 3 year old, or even with some stretching a 13 year old.

conception is definitely arguable, but there is no significant justification for a moral difference between killing a 20 week old fetus and killing a 20 week old newborn.

I think I would be able to get behind this law if it weren't for the fact that half of the US is still going to be obnoxiously upset over any abortion, even if it is clearly legal.

One arguable place to draw the line might be when the fetus is big enough to be viable outside the womb.

I may be wrong about this - but I think that most Europe has stricter abortion laws (This may have more to do with shrinking population). My mother was almost aborted so obviously I have a little bias here (Seeing as how I like to be in existance) but I don't think it should be too easy to get an abortion. THAT being said people have a right to make choice which I don't agree with and I think we need a little more of that kind of respect in this country.

Some people often think that the government in the U.S is too big,I don't entirely agree with that but regulating either a woman can have an abortion or not is stepping on her civil liberties,for fucks sake its regulating what she can do with her womb .

Humor me Krikkitone. Make the argument for a 3 month old, a 3 year old and a 13 year old. I'll accept quite a bit more leeway at each age jump. I'm having difficulty not seeing your post as a crock.


And the overall thread.. Second trimester abortions are dodgy. If the fetus isn't directly putting the mother at risk.. there are too few distinctions between a living human and a fetus past 13-16 weeks. First trimester is your womb; your business. But 20 weeks is more than conservative enough to outlaw.

just what we non-americans needed ...

Please don't bash my country when it is a states law and not even related to the entire nation. Indiana is a one fiftieth of my country and you are a jerk.

i couldn't go through the whole thread obviously, but people do not get that the point at stake in india is NOT abortion itself, it's the fact that they abort almost all female fetus because it costs a lot of money to the family to marry them, and they are not as useful as men for ground work and so on, which is very important in these families.
they are trying to do that so that people cannot abort once they know the sex.
wether or not you know the sex of a 20month fetus, that i do not know.

It's disingenuous to say that an embryo or fetus is not another person. From conception, 50% of embryos are male and thus impossibly part of the mother's body.

Personally I don't think theres any magical point where a human becomes more than just a bunch of cells. This doesn't mean I think abortion is fine in all circumstances though. I think people should always do what is most likely to be best for society in the long run. On this same note I don't think murder is necessarily wrong, however the problem with these sorts of things is who is actually qualified to make the decision as to what's likely better for society and the answer to that is not many if any at all. Using this reasoning I think as long as murder is illegal because most people can't make rational decisions then abortion should be as well even though I don't think either is innately wrong. Ironically if people were rational enough to do these things correctly they wouldn't be needed.

Rape is the deciding issue for me.

You're going to force a woman to have the baby of a rapist? Yeah, brilliant logic.

This 20 week law seems decent though.


The baby holds no responsibility for the crimes of its father, and should not be punished for them.


So the "baby" takes priority over the woman, who never wanted to have sexual relations with that man?

You don't force a woman to do anything like that. Make her go through 9 months of a burden that serves as a reminder that she was raped.

Actually, another human being's right to live takes priority over the woman's peace of mind. Nobody in here that would argue against the legality of abortion would belittle the effect that being raped has on anyone, but at the end of the day it's impossible for me to see it as justifiable to end the life of another person just because it serves as a reminder for a terrible event that you suffered. I find abortion a revolting and inhumane practice for reasons having nothing to do with religion, and the only instance I would consider it acceptable in is if carrying the pregnancy to term threatens the mother's life.
