About the partial birth abortion issue...

Asked by Judi (40025points) October 16th, 2008

When McCain brought up the question of “health” of the mother Chris Matthews thought it was insulting to women. I’m a woman and a democrat, but it still made me want to know what “health” issues would someone legally be able to consider when contemplating a late term abortion. Non-life threatening health issues, in my mind should be off the table. Heck, a baby can survive when born at 6 months! What is the legal test for “health?” Are stretch marks “unhealthy?” How about depression, how severe must it be? This issue won’t make me vote for McCain, but I think the press (MSNBC anyway) was to quick to just write off the question. Any answers?
