Because some doctors, just like some people (@laughing dog), believe that an infant isn't a person as long as it's inside the womb. Some doctors, just like some people believe that a woman should have an absolute right to an abortion, no matter what stage of development the fetus is at.Why would a doctor kill a normal healthy fetus at the 8th month of development rather than deliver it via a cesarean procedure? And why would a doctor do it on demand?Is it your belief that no doctor anywhere would ever provide a voluntary abortion to a woman who was 8 months pregnant?Neither scenario is sufficiently plausible as to be worthy of consideration. Doctors don't behave in the way described*, and would not do so, regardless of the legality of the situation.
