Former Catholics for Choice leader suggests rethinking advocacy for late term abortions.

Prominent abortion advocate admits in a Washington Post  editorial that "we know more now than we did in 1973" and  that clinging to the same arguments will only serve to further erode support as they can no longer pretend the "fetus is invisible. " Some notable excerpts:

"Opponents use increasingly sophisticated arguments - focusing on advances in fetal medicine, stressing the rights of parents to have a say in their minor children's health care....and have succeeded in swinging public opinion toward their side.

... for pro-choice advocates, standing our ground will mean losing ground entirely.  

She goes on to  suggest to start with opposing post viability abortions , with the exceptions for the immediate risk of  the life of the mother and then goes into  to the health exception that has been used to mean anything in the past and even starts to list those such as psychological health and further states if the fetus has a condition that are incompatible with a good quality of life.... but fear not we will regulate these exceptions with confirmations by medical or psychiatric specialists. Hmmm.....wonder if that means some psychologists suggesting this child would want to be dead rather than suffer from this disability. Maybe Rep.Gwen Moore ( D ) WI could talk again about raising kids eating Ramen noodles.  As she thinks further about this issue she suggests that even after 20 weeks, those seeking abortions should have the benefit of special counseling like women who find out their fetus have anomalies, teens who did not realize  they were pregnant or women who just could not make up their mind?? Come to think of it, it would be a good idea for "mandating and funding non directive counseling......
In return for all of that maybe we could find common ground and what would that look like?? Well for Frances Kissling it would ideally look like the European  model which does have some regs but PAYS for the abortions and of course has a panacea of other state benefits like parental leave, child care and their own version of Obamacare.
Maybe she needs to think some more about this....but it shows that the evidence is getting through.  Now she needs to attend a Klusendorf lecture on size, level of development, environment and degree of dependence.
