This doesn't come as a surprise to pro-lifers, but, according to commenters at Echidne of the Snakes, abortion should be legal until the child leave the birth canal.
If rights to abortion are based on a woman's rights to control her own body, then yes, any point up until birth is acceptable for abortion.
Legally, it isn't, but it should be. To forcefully use any person's body against their will to give/save another life is a violation of human rights. The gift of life should be enirely voluntary, not forced, whether that is in saving a life or giving it.
Always good to see the nuts when they are honest. It's a pity they don't actually read Supreme Court decisions.
