I have to agree with a couple of people who have spoke in this thread. Murder is murder, whether it is in or out of the womb. Most abortions are done after the point where there is a heart beat. At the end of a life, post-birth, a person is declared dead when their heart beat stops. So with that, it would be safe to say before their heart stopped, and it was beating, the person was alive. A baby in the womb who has a beating heart is alive, growing, and ingesting nutrients. It is a child, not a matter of how much money is being spent, not a matter of convience, and not a matter of an accident. If the baby in the womb is tested and it comes out that it MAY have special needs when it is born, then so be it. The child has needs, everyone has needs. If you dont want to open your heart to this innocent loving child because the needs are outside of your comfort bubble, there are many people who would be willing to adopt the child and give it the life it deserves.
As used in this section, the term “born alive”, with respect to a member of the species homo sapiens, means the complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother of that member, at any stage of development, who after such expulsion or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord has been cut, and regardless of whether the expulsion or extraction occurs as a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean section, or induced abortion.

To have a death certificate, one must have a birth certificate. In order to have a birth certificate, the above must apply. Your sense of morality doesnt not change that fact.
Fact, the earliest live birth to survive is at 21.6 weeks gestation.
Fact, most abortions occur before 9 weeks.
In 2003, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 26% of abortions in the United States were known to have been obtained at less than 6 weeks' gestation, 18% at 7 weeks, 15% at 8 weeks, 4.1% at 16 through 20 weeks and 1.4% at more than 21 weeks.
Ane even with that the reorting practices of different states, and the lack of reporting from a few, make the numbers low.
Now, if you wish to argue against late term abortions, I think you will find most here would agree with you. Mother's life life being the major reason. Inevitable death of the fetus before birth being the second.
I could fill this post with facts from so many varies sources, but I fear I would simply be wasting my time.
I respect your morality, and your position, I just dont happen to agree with it.
