I don't know if you are brushed up on Canadian abortion law, but here we have no late-term restriction. Women can legally get abortions here up until their baby is due, and it is fully funded by the Canadian government. Which is why I am so adamant about this... Also, even in the US late-term abortions are only considered late-term after 25 weeks or so. I see the baby as alive after 10 weeks, so I personally find this very distressing, especially since it has been proven that babies can survive outside the womb as of 23 weeks. So basically it is legal to kill babies which could live on their own.
I'm sorry I can't respond to more of your post right now but I have to go to work. I'll finish later. Cheers.
