It is a complicated issue anyway you look at it, but I find it a bit disheartening that whenever the question comes up about possibly protecting the unborn at the stage of where they could possibly survive as a 'human being' we're met with the 'we have better things to do' or 'its not a big deal' responses. It is a big deal, and we NEED to be concerned about this.
One article says 537 abortions after 21 weeks, and opendoor is claiming 25-30 without linking his source, so who knows what the actual numbers are but the FACT is the law allows an abortion for any freakin' reason at all right up to the day of birth. It is mind-boggling that Canada has a law like that in the first place, and even more mind-boggling that people actually think that isn't a problem.
Although 100% morally opposed to the idea of aborting a baby at any time during the pregnancy, I do submit to the idea that it isn't my decision to make, but I do not at ALL agree with the idea that it should be legal to abort a baby at 8-1/2 months for any reason outside of serious medical problems.
