A couple decided to abort all because their baby (at 28 weeks gestation) had a deformed left hand.
For those of you who weren't aware, it is 24 weeks that generally marks the point at which the fetus (baby) has a 50% chance of being able to survive outside of the womb (with intensive care, of course. Mainly this just involves an incubator and being hooked up to an oxygen supply).
How do you feel about this?
Should it be legal?
Should abortion be allowed at this gestational age for "defects" and "abnormalities" when that defect is only something like a deformed left hand?
I mean, should women be given a blank check whenever anything is abnormal?
