He’s not though because anyone who follows this knows that late-term abortions are almost entirely situations where the fetus is incompatible with life (an actual medical term), there are ridiculous risks to the mother’s life, or other very sad scenarios. I’ve never even heard of modern cases where perfectly healthy fetuses were aborted at late stages. I’m sure that they have happened, but the rarity of it happening — not just because so few doctors do that work for medically necessary reasons and even fewer would do it for someone who just changed their mind, but because it is a prohibitively expensive procedure ($25,000 or more).
This 2016 interview with a woman who had an abortion at 32 weeks after she found out her fetus would not survive outside the womb and who then had to suffer through 24 hours of labor and have her dead child ripped from her womb (and prior brain surgery meant she couldn’t push), really paints a picture of the terrible reality for anyone forced to be in a position to terminate a pregnancy at such a late stage: https://jezebel.com/interview-with-a-woman-who-recently-had-an-abortion-at-1781972395 https://jezebel.com/interview-with-a-woman-who-recently-had-...
