Basically all third-trimester abortions are because of medical reason, either the pregnant person’s life is at risk or the fetus wouldn’t live very long because it has a birth defect. People who want an abortion most likely already went through with it before the third trimester, those who didn’t probably didn’t have the resources up until the third trimester, that’s why I think they should be legal. -Vicky
Do you honestly believe that NO mother EVER has a third trimester abortion outside of birth defects and risk to her life? You honestly believe that women don’t seek late term abortions because they no longer want to be pregnant or want to back out of parenthood? You are seriously delusional. In fact, abortion to save the life of the mother is EXTREMELY rare. In fact, many doctors will tell you that abortion is never necessary to save the life of the mother.
“As experienced practitioners and researchers in obstetrics and gynecology, we affirm that direct abortion – the purposeful destruction of the unborn child – is not medically necessary to save the life of a woman.
We uphold that there is a fundamental difference between abortion, and necessary medical treatments that are carried out to save the life of the mother, even if such treatment results in the loss of life of her unborn child.
We confirm that the prohibition of abortion does not affect, in any way, the availability of optimal care to pregnant women.“
Using abortion to kill a child with birth defects is just as wrong as killing a healthy child. Many mothers actually abort their children just because they have a cleft palate, an operable condition.
This is how epidemic and depraved abortion has become. In the case of the genetic disorder of Down syndrome, abortion is literally genocide, resulting in the slaughter of 90% of these children in the womb.
Stand against the killing of ‘less than perfect’ human beings. Stand for Life.
Hi people! I was just wondering your thoughts on third-trimester abortions? In Australia they aren\'t legal (I\'m not even sure if second trimester is…) Anyway, I was just curious because it seems like at that stage the fetus is a baby…
