I'm just curious if any of our Left leaning posters have actually agreed to the No Abortions after the first Tri-Mester (Hollerdo doesn't count, he's the only Left leaning poster I can recall that's in favor of the compromise).
I think that a fair and reasonable compromise needs to fall between the first trimester - where 93% of all abortions already happen - and the earliest point of fetal viability outside the womb, which is generally considered to be around 24 months.
In previous posts, I've stated that I feel 20 weeks seems to best grant the mother a reasonable length of autonomy, while also securing a point at which the right of the fetus to have the opportunity of life supersedes the mother's autonomy.
