I agree, but can we agree it's not sexist for parliament [1] stipulate
the terms of an abortion.

[1] where so it happens MPs are voted in by a majority of women (in the
electorate and likelihood of voting).


Only where it deals with restrictions on late term abortions, where
the baby may be viable - it's reasonable to prohibit elective
abortions in that period, but to protect the mother's health or life,
or in cases where the baby will be severely deformed at birth, it
should be allowed.

Why not after it is born ?

Good idea as it avoids procedures such as amniocentesis that may
endanger mother and foetus. See what comes out and decide whether we
want it to live.

The difference between a late abortion and infanticide is birth, which
is an event *in* life, not its start.
