A mother should be able to prevent her potential child from growing up in constant, miserable, excruciating pain. There are diseases which are not detectable until about 20 weeks that result in this. Let the woman, in consultation with the doctor, make the ultimate decision without interference from other's churches or the state.

I would think it would be fairly easy to draw up a very specific list of serious maladies that could call for termination after 20 weeks if a fetus is determined to have that syndrome.
