We seldom legislate new technologies into being. They emerge, and we plunge with them into whatever vortices of change they generate.

3rd trimester - the state has the right to regulate abortions.
Pretty straightforward.

I dont have a problem with the states trying to regulate late term abortions if they are simply for birth control.
The womans right to choose end where the baby's existence begins. Im sure we can all agree that that doesnt simply occur when the puppy gets launched.
