I've given a rational argument (at 20 weeks BTW). You disagree with it. That's fine, and that's absolutely your right. My point is that prior to 20 weeks, the fetus is still developmentally unable (you can read that as extremely unlikely if you'd rather) to survive outside of the womb. I'm fine with drawing that imaginary line. Like I said, I don't think you are. To me your argument is the same as someone saying we shouldn't mine coal because it'll be diamonds in an eon.
And I'll add that I've never used the word humane in this whole argument. That's a whole different thing, and delves into quality of life and all sorts of side arguments for and against.
Also, your comment about 39 weeks is off. Basically a child born at 36 weeks is no more in danger than a child born at 40 weeks (full term). If a mother is over the age of 35, not many docs will let her to go full term because of potential risks to the baby. I know this. I lived it a little over a year ago when my second daughter was born at 39 weeks and 3 days, perfectly happy and healthy and fully developed.
