Well, where would you draw the line? You can't just pretend it never happens since we know it does. And even if you want to pretend it would never happen, then there is no reason not to draw the line. So at what point should abortions be regulated? 39 weeks? 24 weeks? 16 weeks? Something else? |

See this is the trick, the sleight-of hand - is draws you into accepting a simplistic falsehood: that a specific line has to be, should be or can be drawn.
Medicine is not law, and law is not code. Or at least, when done well they behave differently.
there is no sense in a code `if (fetus_weeks <= 16) return true else return false;` being law and then being medicine. That's 2 category errors right there.
A decision between doctor and patient based on specific circumstances is what's called for.
Pete Buttigieg said it quite well in this case:
