1) Amnesty InTl, Guttmacher Institute, WTO, Human Rights Watch, and Doctors Without Borders beg to differ. 2) Have fun defining when life begins, so the view it begins at conception is even dubious on religious grounds. 3) Women have the right to make decisions w/o u butting in.
No offense, but that's not a very useful question. I've never heard of a condition that can be detected at 19 weeks that will pose a 50/50 risk to the mother some *21 weeks* later. But to give an answer, no. I would not support aborting a baby in the absence of medical urgency.

If you're asking me to condone the "safe and legal" ability to make life saving decisions, up to and including procedures that may end the life of the baby, then yes, I support that. But that doesn't describe elective abortion, nor "50/50 21 weeks later" scenarios.

Your wife having a 50/50 chance of dying giving birth to a non-viable fetus isn't a medical emergency? It's possible to determine viability of a pregnancy as early as 10 weeks.I'm glad I don't have to make that choice with you. https://academic.oup.com/humrep/article/26/11/2957/657637 … https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/3282258/ …
