I am pretty sure it is illegal to abort at 6 month unless there is fetal abnormality or the threat of death to the mother

abortion is always dangerous to at least one human being

Please tell her not to do it. I think the cut off is 3 or 4 months. At six months you are killing a almost fully devoeloped baby. I'm agaist abortion period but at six months I think it could really mess up the mother

at six months that isnt an option in my world....thats a living human being.....im not sure its even legal at that point to abort.

I don't think she can at 6 months. I know around here 12 weeks is the cut off. Abortions can be harmful at anytime of course not always (well at least to the mother). If she has gone this long she should finish out the pregnancy and give the baby to a loving family who wants it. I don't believe in abortions period unless the mother has no choice (her life or eptopic). I really hope she decides not to even attempt it could end up very bad.

WOW! Thats a 'real' baby.. It could survive outside of the womb at that age with intensive care. I think it could cause huge problems for her and wow thats really sad. I am 5 months pregnant and my baby wiggles and moves around. That would have everything. I am really sorry to hear so late in pregnancy thats what she's thinking, but is there is problem with the baby.. OR just with your friend

wow.. if abortion is safer than child birth seems like ALL women would be scared to death to give birth and they would all be having abortions.
I think I need to seem some source for that comment Rivermoon.
Never mind this is a Pro-life forum and it sounds like you might be por-choice and if so, you can't post in here. I see you are new. You might want to read the rules.

I heard in texas you can abort LATe in pregnancy, but I just think its sad at 6 months she would feel the little one kicking and moving around. Oh well, its my opinion. I am not sure what your friend is going through. I sure hope that everything works out for you and your friend. She's lucky to have a friend like you. Perhaps you could suggest adoption to your friend?

No, you can't have an abortion at 6 months. A lot of babies are born at 6-7 months and survive. My nephew was born at 7 months and weighed 2 lbs. That was 30 years ago, and he is now 6'1" tall and weighs 200 lbs. Yes, premature birth is not as healthy for the baby, but aborting, would be the end. Is that what she really wants? Why would your friend have an abortion this late in her pregnancy? It will be the same as giving birth - only ending it's life. Why is she against adoption? I think a lot of women get scared at this point in their pregnancy, and just want to go back to the way things were before. I remember when I was taken to the hospital, in labor, I just wanted to go back home because we are all scared of the unknown.

Yes you can have an abortion at 6 months in Texas. I called a clinic and ask..

I guess I didn't post accurately - I just meant, no - you SHOULD NOT have an abortion at 6 months. Legally, I don't know, sorry for the misunderstanding.

ok..

Kansas is one good example of that. George Tiller will abort at any time, for any reason....... and there are people trying to get him prosecuted for his illegal acts. But his political contributions have bought him a lot of political power, so it's going to be very hard to get a conviction in Kansas. The governor is very much proabort, and she got a lot of money from him.

Hello, I am a student at the Community College of Denver, and as part of an English assignment, I have been asked to post my paper on an appropriate forum. The topic is on Partial-Birth Abortion, which is what is performed after the 20-week mark. Yes, there are doctors, even in the city I live in, that will perform this horrific act up to the sixth month and beyond. I hope that this paper will convince anyone considering a late-term abortion to think otherwise. If I am somehow posting this in the wrong place - or if I have, in fact, broken any rules - please accept my sincere apologies.

a•bor•tion –noun
1. Also called voluntary abortion. The removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy.

2. Any of various surgical methods for terminating a pregnancy, esp. during the first six months.1

Sounds clinical, clean, almost mechanical, doesn’t it? How convenient that we have a word like that so we can use it as a euphemism for what it really is – infanticide.
In September of 1993, a nurse with thirteen years of experience named Brenda Pratt Shafer, was assigned by her nursing agency to an abortion clinic. Brenda considered herself “very pro-choice,” so she didn’t think she’d have a problem with the assignment. Here is what she had to say about her experience:
"I stood at the doctor's side and watched him perform a partial-birth abortion on a woman who was six months pregnant. The baby's heartbeat was clearly visible on the ultrasound screen. The doctor delivered the baby's body and arms, everything but his little head. The baby's body was moving. His little fingers were clasping together. He was kicking his feet. The doctor took a pair of scissors and inserted them into the back of the baby's head, and the baby's arms jerked out in a flinch, a startle reaction, like a baby does when he thinks that he might fall. Then the doctor opened the scissors up. Then he stuck the high-powered suction tube into the hole and sucked the baby's brains out. Now the baby was completely limp. I never went back to the clinic. But I am still haunted by the face of that little boy. It was the most perfect, angelic face I have ever seen."2
One has to wonder how many “pro-choicers” out there would hold fast to their beliefs if they had to witness this gruesome scene firsthand. I can’t attach a movie to this document, but I can describe the procedure.
1. The abortionist grabs the infant’s leg with forceps.
2. The baby is pulled by its leg into the birth canal.
3. The baby is completely delivered – except for the head.
4. The abortionist pierces the baby’s skull with scissors.
5. The scissors are then opened to widen the hole in the baby’s head.
6. A suction tube is inserted, and the baby’s brain is vacuumed out.
7. The baby’s skull collapses.
8. The dead baby is fully removed.
Anesthesiologist experts have testified that the anesthetic has little to no effect on the child, and other medical experts have testified that the child at that age can experience great pain. This means that the child feels the entire procedure up until the point of death.
This procedure is used beginning at the 20-week period, up until the procedure’s legal limit – sometimes into the third trimester.
Dr. Martin Haskell, who has performed over one thousand partial-birth abortions, said that he performs them "routinely" for non-medical reasons and that 80% are "purely elective." Medical experts testified before congressional committees that it is never necessary to kill a baby that has been almost entirely delivered to preserve the life or health of a mother.3
So what does this mean? It means that, if this is any indication, that over 800 out of every 1,000 partial birth abortions are not in any way shape or form “necessary”. “Pro-choicers” love to shout from the rooftops that the mother’s well being is never considered more than the unborn baby’s by the “pro-lifers.” Even if this weren’t a laughable fallacy, the statistics show that it’s not a real factor nearly as often as they’d like us to think.
People today sometimes wonder why life isn’t considered as valuable as it used to be. Our soldiers are sent off in meaningless wars by the politicians’ current interests; people are tortured – by our country – in ways that are supposed to be unthinkable. Well, as long as the decision of unborn child homicide is treated as a matter of personal privacy, is it any wonder that life is considered cheap?
