Question

why not allow abortions up until 2 yr olds?

Answer 1

Better still, why not take all would be abortionists out and burn them

at the stake!?

Answer 2

I'm sure a lot of pro-choice people have thought of that. That way you could get a pretty good idea of the child's health, his/her ability to learn, and to adapt. If the kid was going to present problems in the future, then go ahead and take him out. Some people already do a type of abortion by the age of two, it's called neglect.

If abortion is a available because a woman has the right to determine how her body is to used, then taking someone out at the age of two would be considered a woman's right to choose how her life is to be lived: why be burdened with a child that you realize you don't want, a child that's not going to turn out exactly the way you expected? Oh, yeah, I guess that would be called parental responsibility and accountability.
