    Ok, I’ll bite. How many months after conception should abortion be legal?

      That’s a very difficult question tbh my initial thoughts are less than 1 month. Abortion should not be used as birth control and obviously abortions that are necessary for either mothers safety or under dire circumstances like rape/underage etc… or severe instances of fetal health should all be legal much later as anatomy scans for babies health are needed to identify many serious deformities.

        I’m glad I asked. You have a more nuanced answer than I expected.

        Your reply made me curious. You’re supposed to abortions for birth control. But you say less than one month. Why not at conception and keep your exemptions for rape or medical emergencies?
