Until what age of child? Seriously, should a third trimester baby be killed in this fashion? How about a 1 year old that she didn't realize would be such a life changing event - retroactive abortion? How is the first or second tri-mester any different from the point of view of taking another person's life than the third, or the first year of life?

The world is overpopulated as is, and I don't cry over the embryo's/fetuses who will never see the light of day. I feel for the women who have to make that choice and then live with it.
I do, too. I have a great amount of sympathy/empathy for someone feeling they're that choiceless that they'd kill someone for their own well being in the future. But, I feel even more for the unborn child, personally. The innocent life that was not part of the decision to be born; the decision the mother and father made. (I'm ruling out rape/incest as they're an insignificant percentage of abortions performed).
