I appreciate the answer. Out of curiosity, why a beating heart? Is that not as arbitrary as our opposition at the 3rd trimester? 

My point is that all of us seem to oppose abortion once the fetus is at a stage where we consider it to be an actual person. We disagree at when that stage is. Some say the day after sex with the use of drugs, some say fertilization, some say implantation, some say 8 weeks, some say 26 weeks, etc. What is you argument when someone says you support killing babies because you'd allow it up to 8 weeks?


Another curiosity: any rape/incest/health of the mother exceptions allowed after 8 weeks if you made the laws?
