[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. This is an issue for me too, OP. I’m very pro-choice in first semester and I think women should be allowed to terminate at the anatomy scan (which is not always at 20 weeks, could be 1-2 weeks later to be fair). After that point, I think abortions should be banned unless there’s a very compelling medical reason for the baby or the mother.

I also hear things like “that almost never happens! Right wing talking point!” and if that’s true, I don’t see why anyone would have a problem with a law against it. It’s either happening or it’s not. And it shouldn’t, IMO.

I read something that said the vast majority of Americans have this middle of the road, sensible view on abortion. So I don’t know why we need to choose between one extreme or the other. The crazies on both sides drive me nuts.[/quote]

One extreme is "no abortions period"
The other is, it should be illegal in the third term except in the instance of the fetus or mother's life is at risk.

What are the crazies on the latter?[/quote]

Yes, when Roe was the law of the land, almost all states had restrictions on abortions in the third trimester, which starts at week 27/28.[/quote]

And after Roe, states like New York relaxed their restrictions on late abortion.[/quote]

That is a complete lie.

There are only 2 doctors in america that actually perform 3rd tri abortions and they are 25-35k before travel costs. NO ONE is waking up one morning and chosing this.

They are the only option for women who are in dire MEDICAL need. [/quote]

There’s literally examples in this article of women who weren’t in dire medical need who got third trimester abortions.  One didn’t find out until her third trimester that she was pregnant.  Another says she would have gotten one earlier, but it wasn’t until the third trimester that she raised the funds.  Why are you suggesting this doesn’t happen when it’s in published medical literature?
