the only reason it would ever be performed a day before birth is because the pregnant person would die otherwise so yes there should be no limits on when it’s off the table
There’s a reason I put the word “elective” in my post. Your hypothetical is not an elective situation. It’s an emergency procedure and so would not be covered by the legislation.
So because there’s moral limits to when it would “ever be performed”, there should be no legal limits to when it would ever be performed? Surely by that logic we don’t need laws against murder either, after all, that would be immoral and sometimes you have to kill people in self defence, so murder laws just get in the way.
This coming from a pro choice person, I do think there’s a good justification for allowing later abortions, but as the previous poster said, it’s not helpful to pretend there’s no complexity or that there should be no limits at all.
