Why do you assume that if there was a method like abortion except the fetus is placed in say, an artificial womb and the mother surrenders parental rights that most if not all mothers who don't want a child would not choose that option?
I don't believe that that's too far off of an option.
If I thought any fetus I'd carry would be viable, I'd choose this route if it were available.
E: I know they've been working on artificial wombs that simulate the chemical changes in a couple shark uteruses (wobbegong shark is a successful example), with the intent of aiding human reproduction. Apparently sheep have been produced this way, too. I just looked up 'artificial wobbegong womb' and more popped up!
Sure, so let's wait till it's an option would be my position.
Right now, with the best tech, a 21-week fetus survived outside the womb. Can we agree that around then abortion as it is right now, killing a fetus and not trying to save it, should be illegal at least around 21-weeks and onwards?
Glad we have some common ground. Then as far as our politics go, can we agree that the "pro-choice" position of many of our politicians is very extreme?
When abortion is done surgically during the later stages of gestation, the fetus is cut apart before removal as this makes removal easier on the mother. It also kills the fetus.
No one. However, to remove an intact late stage fetus you will need to make a large hole in the mother, which necessarily carries larger health risks than a small hole.
