>But I'm against late-term elective abortions (which is essentially murder) - and they DO occur. The data is soft on exactly what %, but the "virtually all late-term abortions are due to medical reasons" line from the DNC and many followers is unfounded. Even left-leaning fact-check sites have pushed back on. So even if a woman in third term doesn't want the child, someone else will. Candidly, if someone tells me (in that situation) that I'm being unfair, I don't care. Elective abortions after viability are barbaric.

>I am trying to find the exact quote - and when I do, I'll post the link - but about 10-15 years ago, someone in the NY state legislature gave a speech that included the line similar to, "if you need an abortion and even if you're in the late stages, lie....lie, tell them you were raped....do what you need to do, it's your body".

In general I think we have similar attitudes in this area - If the mother has lived a normal life within one of the western countries and did conceive without being raped - in case of rape and living in a western country I'd extend the time allowed to ponder the question (a fair bit, but not until close to normal birth).

In some other situations (contrived, but not really impossible) - think ISIS refugees already far along pregnancy when arriving - I think my personal moral standard could not refuse late-term elective abortions even given that way of getting pregnant cannot be proven/validated.
