The problem is with placing *any* restriction on late-term abortions, but that's just what I think. Women who carry a fetus that long are not going to abort because they're "blue" or on a whim, or they've changed their minds - we're talking a tiny, slender, skinny little percentage of such instances. This kind of abortion is usually NOT wanted by the mother but is usually medically necessary to save a least one life. (I have a friend who's been a doctor for 20 years and has a specialty in obstetrics; I've heard the stories about the difference between doing this kind of abortion and not doing it when it was needed ... the latter didn't end well.) I don't like being treated like I have half a brain because of my gender, is all, and that I can't make these decisions for myself.
