My thoughts and beliefs have varied throughout the years on the subject. I've arrived at the belief that pregnancies should be allowed at any stage. An unwanted birth is an unwanted birth. If a woman decides during the third trimester that she does not want to have a baby, then she shouldn't go through with it and she should be able to terminate her pregnancy. There's some ethics to consider here because the fetus obviously has a well developed nervous system in the latter trimesters, but I don't think a person should be forced into a life she isn't ready for and no child should be born unwanted. And I'm also a supporter of the government helping the financially needy in this and other medical procedures.
