Why does that matter? If the fetus cannot survive outside the womb due to genetic defects, why would I care about that when I could care about the health of the mother?
If you are absolutely certain the foetus cannot survive, and carrying it to term will give the mother a high probability of dying after giving birth due to physical complications, then an abortion is a valid medical procedure. However, this accounts for less than one percent of abortions, so unless we are arguing against that, it’s not a valid talking point.
I’m saying that red tape and bans gets in the way of that happening for that specific scenario. By your morals, I hold the, “Let 100 guilty people go free before jailing one innocient” stance, also I’m not ok with the government being in charge of deciding when that is appropriate. Thank you for actually treating this like a discussion. I feel like it’s important to have.
Oh, so the mother’s die every time?
Even under your bad definition it’d be only 50-60% (accounting for the fact that some mothers do die)
You can’t have a higher than 100% death rate, that means more people died than were involved in what happened
By reasonable definition that’s 1 death: the mother
By your own poor definition it’s 2: mother and fetus
So where are we getting extra from?
