I agree, there should be a limit, over here it is about 24 weeks, which I think is plenty of time.
I know my attitude sounds nasty, but I think something like that is best left up to the people who's life it affects, not a group of men or women sitting in rooms, possibly hundreds/ thousands if miles away, who will not have to deal with the consequences one way or another.
And these, are broadly speaking, the same people who...well let me put it this way
You have a poor woman, getting pregnant with another child, another mouth to feed, the pro-lifers won't let her have an abortion, so she has the poor bastard and tries to raise the child. So she is on welfare, another thing the largely conservative pro-lifers whine and whinge about. Sorry, but you can't have it both ways.
And the chances of the child being adopted are quite slim, in the UK at least there are a shortage of parents willing to adopt, and the rules governing ths are so tight (wrongly or rightly, that is another thread) that a lot of them end up going to the coutries of Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa et el to try and get a child.
