I am a pretty staunch pro choicer, I do think there should be restrictions in place in regards to how late you can have a uncomplicated pregnancy aborted, 20 weeks is where I personally would draw the line, so maybe 24 weeks. After 24 weeks the majority of babies born could survive outside the womb.
In pregnancies where the baby has a known defect incompatible with life or the mother gets life threatening complications there should IMO be no cut off date. I would think most mothers who are having health issues would choose delivery over abortion anyway after 24 weeks.
