I have no idea what society standard you're using, because, the bold portion above is, we'll, not to tightly wrapped, to put it mildly, are those 3 sentences to be taken together? Or?
That's the standard of "The world most of us actually live in".
then you are using the word/term 'standard' wrong. The standard isn't 'I want it gone so it goes away', its never been that simple and there are rules.
The standard is what the gov. allows and I don't have an issue with 26 weeks btw.
Do you recognize any limits? 26, 30, or right up until the due date?
I know this is hard for the anti-abortion folks to deal with.
In their fantasy world, there were no abortions before Roe v. Wade.
Women don't think of unwanted pregnancies as "babies" or "children". They think of them as a problem to be dealt with.
And I suspect this was the case all the way back to the Romans.
see bold emphasis- then I feel sorry for them and I am betting that for maybe a third that may be true, but as for the rest I would hope and believe they see it as more than just a "problem", not some dispassionate issue that requires little more thought than what kind of smart phone to buy ....this is a viable life (until or if proven otherwise)
I'll throw out a general observation- theres are entities that love using crass emotional appeals to drive agenda.
I have heard that case made vis a vis states wanting to enact laws demanding sonograms prior to an abortion, yes, I can see that as an emotional appeal as well as containing an educational aspect too.
But either way, I don't see that as any different from any of the other de jour emotional appeals others use profligately either in general context.... BUT, here? there is a difference, a potential life is at stake, its a one on one situation, a one time event, if a neutral doctor performs an ultra sound and tells the mother that the baby seems healthy and absent any unforeseen incidents can be carried to term and birthed, I am not sure how that is a 'bad' thing.......
Oh and I am sure you can surface some situation(s) where in this has occurred and can be portrayed as trauma, but, that to is just another emotionally driven refutation that doesn't quite square the circle.
