**** 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.
I think that if something is happening or not is pretty important, no?
What is the point of any law against this if you don't consider the act itself happening to be a central issue?
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.
I do not think there is anything extreme about abortion in Canada right now.
The types of abortions that take place, and the point in the pregnancy that these abortions take place, is no different than any other modern country. If we are right in line with everyone else, wouldn't that be the definition of moderate?
I think that "extreme" would look more like advocating for late term abortions, advocating for using abortion as an alternative to other birth control methods, etc. That certainly sounds pretty extreme compared to the status quo, no?
