Abortions after 24 weeks make up less than 1% of all abortions. There are many reasons why women may need to access abortion later in pregnancy, including maternal health endangerment, diagnosis of fetal abnormalities or restrictive laws delaying earlier access to abortion care. Those exceptionally rare cases that happen after 24 weeks are often because a fetus has a condition that cannot be treated and will never be able to survive – regardless of the gestational age or trimester.
It’s this exact reason that it’s nonsensical to legislate these cases: Nobody arrives at the decision to have an abortion after 24 weeks carelessly. Rather, it’s the rare case of rapidly decompensating maternal heart disease or a delayed diagnosis of anencephaly, where the fetus forms without a complete brain or skull, that bring people to these decisions.
LOL thats all you got? "Fuck you"? LOL I think we've proven here today that you're the idiot.
By the time the fetus is at 24 weeks the woman has already decided to carry the pregnancy to term.
At 24 weeks, that is a wanted fetus. The parents have picked out a name, they know the sex of the fetus, they've had a baby shower and have either started or have completed redesigning a room into a nursery.
If an abortion is needed at that late stage, the woman's life is in jeopardy or there is a very serious problem with the fetus.
The conservative ghouls on this thread want women to die if their pregnancy goes wrong.
