It is a fetus, not a baby.
According to the law it's a baby.
If a man assaults a woman and she has a miscarriage.
No matter what stage her pregnancy was in. He will be charged with murder, and if convicted, will go to prison. ....
The right to abortion of convenience wades deeply into hypocrisy in every strata of human existence.
Biological. Familial. Philosophical. Sociological. Ethical, etc.
The sole balance it checks among boxes defining the human condition is self veneration over all--most poignantly: the value of convenience over existence of another life; deification of vanity as reasoning for murder.
Almost every single abortion is for 'convenience.'
The concept that there are "cases of rape or incest" is a chimera.
They really don't exist.....well, the fact is that 98.5% of abortion don't involve either abhorrent event.
The cases in which abortion is for rape, 1%; and .5% incest.

The overwhelming basis used for killing the unborn is
convenience.
Convenience, as in having your groceries delivered rather than having to walk across the street to pick them up.....this level of effort in deciding to execute the child you've created.
The vast majority of abortion performed in the United States are carried out for reasons that can be broadly categorized as “matters of convenience.” In a study of 27 nations, reasons for abortion services were found to be the following:
a. “Worldwide, the most commonly reported reason women cite for having an abortion is to postpone or stop childbearing. The second most common reason—socioeconomic concerns—includes disruption of education or employment; lack of support from the father; desire to provide schooling for existing children; and poverty, unemployment or inability to afford additional children. In addition, relationship problems with a husband or partner and a woman's perception that she is too young constitute other important categories of reasons.”
Reasons Why Women Have Induced Abortions: Evidence from 27 Countries
b. A 2004 study of American women yielded similar results: “The reasons most frequently cited were that having a child would interfere with a woman’s education, work or ability to care for dependents (74%); that she could not afford a baby now (73%); and that she did not want to be a single mother or was having relationship problems (48%). Nearly four in 10 women said they had completed their childbearing, and almost one-third were not ready to have a child. Fewer than 1% said their parents’ or partners’ desire for them to have an abortion was the most important reason. Younger women often reported that they were unprepared for the transition to motherhood, while older women regularly cited their responsibility to dependents.”

c. We reject the view that inconvenience of a mother’s informed choice outweighs the unalienable right to life of the child she bears by virtue of that choice.
On-demand abortion is antithetical to the ideas and ideals upon which America was built.
