    Doing anything for your child should mean willing to die for them too. 

    Are you a woman?
    Nope. And that doesnt matter with what I said. 

    A couple of things:

    1. It kinda does. It's pretty easy to say what you've said given you're a male. And pretty callous for anyone to tell a 24 year old woman (as an example) that she faces serious risk coming to full term with her unborn child that's a risk you're just gonna have to take (with a thought bubble over your head containing the words 'pshew... sure glad it's not me or my daughter!).

    2. With regards to the late term abortion... it's tricky. I believe a woman should abort as early as possible; however, there are circumstances where later procedures are advisable (personal health... non viable pregnancy).

    3. Financial instability is not a good reason for a late term procedure and if I'm reading correctly... this is not an accepted reason relevant to the bill.

    Virtually no facility or doctor would abort a viable fetus after 24 weeks just because the mother was flaking.  It just isn't happening.

    I understand the desire to have "life or death" codified into the law, but medical decisions rarely work like that and would place an undue burden on physicians to make serious medical decisions for the patients.

     I thought the New York law was only if the mother's life was at risk or is that wrong? Seems like it could be abused for sure with the right doctor but I know if my wife's life was at risk and we were 35 weeks in I would opt for the abortion if the risk was that great. That is if there was no other way around it like a C section for example. At the end of the day it would be her call but I know what I would want. 

    I'm not a doctor, but if some condition arose in the last few days of pregnancy that put the mother's life at risk, why would abortion be the only option? This stuff actually happens all the time, that's why c-sections are pretty common. I believe that is one of the main reasons for a c-section.

    There are many reasons for late term abortions.
    The answer to your question is that, yes, if the fetus is that old and viable, and the mother can safely undergo a C-section, that is what will happen.
    The NY legislators wanted to send a clear message: government has no business in the decisions between a doctor and consent-capable adult.
    Unfortunately, the right-wing fear drill immediately goes to work and conjures FALSE images of brutality among a populace that (understandably) knows very little of medical practice.

    It isn't the only option.

    My reading of the material suggested that abortion was an option if the fetus was not viable and/or not going to survive outside the uterine environment, not that a viable fetus close to delivery would be aborted.

    This is the kind of crap we're dealing with in Ireland at the moment, having finally legislated for abortion
