Thank you for your reply.
To tell you the truth I don't really know what to make of it. I have no problem with abortion at the embryonic state or even early fetal stage.
Viability starting around month 7 is also technically incorrect according to the Wikipedia article on medical viability, in month 7 the chance of survival is already above 90%, however a fetus has a small chance of survival at the end of month 5 (22nd week).
I guess my position boils down to the following:
- Everything after entering the fetal stage (week 14), is a moral grey area, there's no clear answer to me at what point the fetus' life is worthy if legal protection
- Abortions at the stage of overwhelming chance of survival kinda are murder (which according to Wikipedia is legal in Canada and some US states)
What can I take away from this? I guess if late term abortion was something that was legal in my country then you might find me at a pro-life rally.
