You are just trying to play "gotcha" with an irrelevancy; no doubt to justify a call for sadistic and repressive laws against the imaginary hordes of women having 8 month abortions.

That said; probably some time after birth. And since you will no doubt try to insinuate that I'm advocating infanticide, after birth the infant is no long dependent on the mother and there's no birth trauma to be stopped, so killing the infant isn't the same as abortion.
