At the heart of it was the argument that by a common and widely accepted definition of personhood, post-natal abortion is logically just as ethical as pre-natal abortion.

If you offer moral and logical reasons why abortion should every be acceptable under any circumstances, then you should have morally and logically consistent reasons why you draw the time limit where you do.

The child and the mother both figure in this equation. Which is worse: killing a child or counselling a victim of crime?
The only use of abortion should be in cases of rape and for medical reasons, otherwise, it is unethical!
