| Message | Well the NCP aren't against abortions, making them legal throughout the entire duration of the pregnancy is something morally grey as well as medically dangerous to the potential mother, especially if its done too late in the pregnancy. As a compromise we would be willing to allow it in the first trimester but anything beyond that begins the philosophical debate on how long it takes a fetus to be a baby and potentially a person.
