Nobody claimed they were illegal. I said that medical standards didn't allow them after 24 weeks, and only in rare cases after 20 weeks.
That is one example of the standards in place.
Lol, everyone thinks they are the "moderate".
You are arguing against nobody, since nobody here is proposing any of the things you are arguing against.
**** the standards.....the simple fact is any doctor in Canada can do a partial birth abortion without legal retribution. THAT is the point, and your galloping off down side roads claiming "Oh My! It never happens" is BS.
Perhaps you need a lesson in English language comprehension.
There is a spectrum of opinion here.....the extremist position on one end of the spectrum (known as "extremist because it is at the extreme end of that spectrum) is no abortion whatsoever, no matter what stage, nor what given reason. The extremist position on the other end of the spectrum is no legal control, abortion quite legal at any time prior to the natural emergence of the child.(known as "extremist because it is at the extreme end of that spectrum)
The position in the middle of the spectrum is some rational legal control over abortion, as done in 98% of the world..........in this case my position is open abortion until 22 weeks, and very restricted access thereafter.
By definition, that is the MODERATE position, as it lands on the spectrum exactly between the two EXTREMIST positions.
You're welcome. Any other time I can help you understand the language, just ask.
