[QUOTE="jayem, post: 74327143, member: 8344"] The link (which is a pro-life website) compiles data for 2017 from Guttmacher (an affiliate of PP) and the CDC. 3% of abortions are performed for fetal issues. 4% are done for "physical health problems." Which I assume are maternal health issues. As I said, it's is not common. These are exceptional circumstances. But it's the exception that proves the rule. Which is that any rights imputed to the unborn, are subordinate to the rights of the mother. [URL="https://abort73.com/abortion_facts/us_abortion_statistics/"]U.S. Abortion Statistics[/URL] This doesn't mean the unborn have no value. I'm a pragmatist, not an idealist. I'm more concerned with practical matters than philosophical perfection. The most reasonable solution is a compromise to split the difference. The average pregnancy is 40 weeks. So up to 20 weeks of gestational age, abortion should left as a private medical decision between doctor and patient. After 20 weeks, the states can restrict abortion to life or health threatening medical reasons only. This is sensible, workable, and fair to both sides. Is this wrong? [/QUOTE]
