Few hours earlier it was a totally fair game clump of cells. Pretty sick that's where they draw the line. Although I'm sure if pressed on it they'd just extend it to making it totally ok to toss kids in a dumpster as long as it's behind a Planned Parenthood
Have they not argued for it though? I'm not prepared to quote something but I remember hearing about I think it was Virginia wanting ultra late term abortions. I do remember an article last year too where they were trying to confirm a baby had actually been born in a similar case where a woman tossed her kid, supposedly as a defense to murder. Either way I'm obviously not a fan of abortions, mainly just because it seems sick and unnecessary to me.
Why does that matter? We don't have an "unless you are a coward" exception for murder.
Maybe some doctor can explain it to me but can't the vast majority of those "health is in danger" scenarios detectable before a pregnancy occurs? Or at worst case within the first few weeks?
Occasionally bad shit does just happen that makes the need to pick one or the other necessary. Human body is complex so sometimes shit just pops.
But in a lot of cases yes, the woman should have or did in fact know the risks and her feelings came before reality. She believes she had a right to have a baby, no matter the risk to it or anything else. This is especially prevalent of a problem in older women, women whose body has be ravaged by birth control, or simply unlucky illnesses that effected reproductive ability, yet they still believe they have a god given right to own a child.
Thats the kind of thing that would be handled on a case by case basis. But a blanket "health of the mother" exemption might as well say "do whatever you want".
I think we’re at 8 states that have abortions up to and including birth. However this is also a misnomer since most states and regions do not actually report fetus age but range of age. So it is very hard to say for certain how many late term abortions occur when they are all reported as >20 weeks abortions. Almost none report higher than >28 weeks.

Tell that to Blackface Northam, who kept his career purely because it served women to keep him there.
"We'll keep the child comfortable while the mother makes her decision"

Day of birth abortion is legal in New York.

99.9% of abortions are elective procedures. Rape, incest, health of the mother are all bad faith arguments trotted out by leftists.
