Then there should be no problem regulating that to ensure they are only performed that late due to those defined medical problems with the fetus, or if the life of the mother is in danger, right? I think most people would agree with that.
- donarb 5y agoDoctors are well trained to evaluate what is needed for their patients, no need to get government involved in private personal medical procedures.
- yucky 5y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Gosnell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Gosnell We definitely need to regulate it.
- donarb 5y agoRegulation is another red herring. People who are against abortion are not interested in regulating doctors, they are for 100% outright bans on any form of the procedure.
- yucky 5y agoWe know that's false though, just through polling. The majority of Americans support abortion with restrictions. Very few people support non-medically necessary abortions at 39 weeks for instance. So to prevent that, you need regulations to draw the line somewhere, wherever that line is being up for debate.
- SideburnsOfDoom 5y agoThe medical professions are already pretty well regulated in all countries. The other reply re Dr Gosnell is an obvious inflammatory distraction, and existing regulation should already apply. It does not make a logical case for new regulation, it is mere shock value and attempt to start an argument.
