I feel the same. Elective for 12 weeks or so, then go to  safe/rare for the exceptions involving rape, incest, health. 

Those exceptions were less than 3% in the last data I saw.

That’s where I am at too. In fact I think a vast majority of people are comfortable with that 12 week cutoff. One would think rape and incest would usually be handled by that point but imo those and the mothers health should always be qualifying exceptions. If they want to lock it down and ban abortion after 12 weeks, I’m on board.

Heck I could even be talked into 10 weeks. Some of these 6-8 week deals….the person may not even realize they are pregnant yet.

Going back to my pre-birth classes the Mrs. and I took, the first 4 weeks of pregnancy is the time between the last cycle and the missed period. My bad if I'm remembering wrong.

Sounds about right but many women have irregular periods and can miss one without assuming/knowing they are pregnant.

I understand that between 6 weeks and 10 or 12 or whenever is sort of a person’s preference.  Lots of debate over at time of fertilization, detectable heartbeat, fetus viability. My preference just happens to be giving the mother enough time to make the decision and to have the procedure be safe if that is the route chosen. I feel the 10-12 week timeframe gives them that. Any later and it starts striking me as a bit murdery. I mean my gut feeling is most abortions are done to correct a lack of responsibility but if we can start writing laws for that there might be even better places to start.

This is why I think there’s a chance this backfires for GOP.  Most people feel this way.
 

But in states like Nebraska they want zero abortion for any reason outside of mothers life at risk.  Even that 1% of raped women and children  will be forced to carry.

As usual its the extremists that prevent sensible laws. Zero from time of fertilization or no limits whatsoever…those are the whackos that keep it alive.

In that case I hope Flood wins.  He should.

That would for sure get that bill passed since I’m pretty sure she was a vote against.
