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

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.

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.

Sadly, there are states where you can abort right up to delivery
Posted: 06-15-08 19:37pm

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.
