- I'm interested. First, let me verify this:
- Q: Do you think abortion is OK if the fetus is 2-weeks old or less? <y,n>

- This is not the whole truth: taken in context, it's seems rather obvious
- (to most people) that no woman would go through 9 months of pregnancy
- and then have an abortion for some trivial reason (on account the rather
- large natural disincentives to do so, ask a woman for details).
- o Is there any reason to restrict late-term abortions? Ie. can you
- document any "abuse" of late-term abortions?
- o Assuming such "abuse" existed, would outlawing abortion end this abuse
- while preserving unhindered access for those needing (not abusing)
- late-term abortions?
