Re: Better Restated Abortion Question

[ QUOTE ]
I am pro-choice. I have 'personally had' 6 abortions.
If technology advances to the point where instead of having an abortion they perform a procedure to remove the fetus and place it in an incubator until it is full term, then I would be all for it. I believe all the women I had abortions with would say the same - as long as it is no longer their responsibility from that point on.

By "all for it", do you mean you would be apathetic whether it was or was not incubated? I presume you would be against it (and prefer the fetus to be terminated) if the future child is most likely not going to be taken care of once it is born?

Assuming that if this technology existed we have advanced to the point where the incubated fetus would be guaranteed to be taken care of by some means (by government, charities, adoption, etc) then I can't see how many people would be opposed to it. Of course, it this was not the case, then it is debatable whether bringing this child into the world is the 'right thing to do'.
