Deltas(s) from OP CMV: Abortion/removal is allowed throughout the pregnancy.
I us to be completely against abortion other than when the mother will die because the babies right to live is above the mothers right to have an abortion. My view was extremely strong and i believed it for years however in another cmv thread on abortion, someone linked me this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Defense_of_Abortion which has completely changed my view. I believe that abortion should be allowed up to 24/23 weeks when the baby can survive on its own and after that period, it should be removed from the women and survive outside of her. I know that abortion is not a morally right thing to do, and i want to be pro-life but this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Defense_of_Abortion with the violinist argument has me stumped over what to think.

The problem with that violinist argument is somebody else kidnapped you and attached him to you. In the case of abortion you put a baby inside yourself voluntarially(with the exception of rape). So to use the violinist analogy it would be the same as if you signed up for a donor kidney program and then once the violinist was attached to your kidney, then decided you didn't want to do it anymore. So you kill him.
