S. Carolina passed law that abolished abortion.

The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act passed the South Carolina House of Representatives 79 to 29 on Tuesday, that abortion on fetuses older than 19 weeks is abolished (The ban includes exceptions if the mother's life is in jeopardy or the fetus will not be able to survive outside the womb.).
The arguement was that after 20 weeks of development the fetus has an adequately structured neural system to feel pain, something debatable in the scientific community, because there are studies that say pain perception is unlikely to happen before the third trimester.

There are 12 other states with similar laws: Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Thoughts?

I'm more leaning towards the right of the people to choose what to do, but this law seems to be a good compromise between the anti-abortion and pro-choice sides. Sadly I've seen the reaction of the left that are against the law but I really don't understand how can anyone can complain about this, as it guarantees abortion in the first 20 weeks, a huge time to decide wheter you want to keep your child or not.

I agree, 20 weeks is like 5 months. That's enough time to both suspect or realise you are pregnant, as well as decide whether you want it or not. Most people decide from the 1st month already, or as soon as their period stops and they go do the pregnancy test. Waiting 5 months is a long time to finally decide you don't want it, unless the reason why you want to abort it is because the 'daddy' bolted on you.

This law also states that there's an exception to terminations that are medicaly justified, such as endangerment of the mother or an unviable fetus.

One should just really take the necessary steps to not get someone pregnant or get pregnant. It isn't so hard. I think this law is fine and agrees with both sides. That time span should be enough to decide weather you want your baby or not.
