If a foetus has a serious genetic defect (its life will be comprised of sitting in a chair and drooling) do you think a compulsory abortion should take place?

A foetus isn't an independant living organism until it is born and breathing for itself.

At the foetus state it is only alive because you are.

It is not a baby until it has been born.

So if you mean, should a healthy baby be killed? The answer is no.

However, in the early stages of pregnancy, if the circumstances mean the kid wouldn't live a decent life for various reasons, then I believe it should be the choice of the parents to be.

Example: Should a rape victim be forced to bring up the child that was a result of the most traumatic experience of her life?

Who thinks a mother's choice to kill her baby is fair?

compulsory !? absolutely not, it has to be the mother's choice.

Babies can survive any time after 26 weeks, the last week abortion is available. Babies are real and have minds, legs and feets in the womb. This is why the doctors pull off the baby's arms, then legs and then pull out the pieces.

You are not killing a healthy baby, you are killing a foetus. If the thing was released from the body more than 1 month early it would die. Lets not forget that. Many believe that life doesn't start until the baby has the ability to be independant from its mother. I wouldn't disagree with this. I personally think there are enough methods of making sure you don't get pregnant these days that aborting a baby shouldn't be necessary. In believe I have a very fair view on abortion, and don't think it should be given out so easily as it is at the moment.

I am dead against healthy babies ever being aborted. I believe sick babies should at least be born, if they have to be fostered, better that then dying. Rape again I believe the baby should be born and then fostered, but I am not so sure, it would really depend on the scenario.

If the baby or mother would die, I would consider abortion a possible method, but it should be a LAST RESORT.
