>> At what point would you draw the line for aborting a healthy foetus?
UK law, or at least that in GB, provides such a limit based on viability. IIRC it was originally 28 weeks and now 24. Science etc may drive it lower over time.
All of which seems about right to me.
Although campaigners make much of late abortion the reality is that most are much earlier. Some States have either outright bans that might even capture an IUD or are so tight that the woman may not know she's pregnant.
Current UK legislation for abortion goes back to Victoria. The Abortion Act 1967, a Private Members Bill per David Steel, provides, in effect, a statutory defence.
