Message | MLF, why would you vote "No" on this? You've opened the door to government encroaching on a women's right to do with her body that which she chooses. This is NOT very libertarian! |

Message | By the third trimester a fetus is capable of surviving outside of the womb. |

Message | So, the question becomes: fetus or women's body? And that also means if it's illegal in trimester three, the MLF wants the government to impose legal sanctions prohibiting third trimester abortions. Whatsmore, does this include third trimester abortions when the women's health or life are in peril? While, yes, first and second trimester abortions work best, no women should be forced to give birth. |
