I have some questions and they are: What is considered to be a late-term abortion? After the 3rd month, the 6th month? and, Is that allowed for any child or only those who have a kind of inoperable defect, that maybe couldn't be diagnosed in the early stages of a pregnancy? Because I can't see how anybody could be for the abortion of a perfectly healthy child, that could survive, if it was born at the time the abortion should take place.

Some say the craziness of the economy and the state of the nation drives some folks over the edge. I'm beginning to believe it.

We will just blame this on Bush.

I think a late term abortion is after 20 weeks. Most doctors agree that the youngest that a child can be born with any chance of survival is 23 weeks (and that has a high risk of major health issues).

I was born at 27 weeks and survived with minimal health problems, but others have been born later and have had greater health issues.

That's the criterion I would apply. If the child can be born safely, it should. Before that, it's up to the mother.

These people who take out their children and spouses while committing suicide, do not think the way "normal" people do, and their actions cannot really be understood as such. Very sick, very sad, very hard to grasp.

I can understand suicide but it always confuses me when suicides take others with them.

You wanna kill yourself, well that's your decision. But why murder others in the process?
