CB, Morning
I am Pro Abortion as the women’s decision to make up to a point.
I agree with the prohibition on late term abortions, approx at the 22 week mark as the child is viable.
Only exception would be if the mother’s life was at risk, and that would be hers to make, and hers to live or die with.
In 76 my girlfriend became pregnant. I offered the usual things a man does, but it was hers to make.
My daughter or son would be turning 39 late this year. It seems to be a constant on my mind.
Abortions after 21 weeks are very rare and legal abortions after viability only happen in extreme cases when the woman's life is risk or if irrepable damage to a major bodiliy function ( such as stroke,heart attack, paralysis from the neck down, kidney damage, etc. ) would occur if the pregnancy continued.
There are only 4 doctors and 3clinics that perform legal abortions for the extreme cases. One of those clinics is in Arizonia. OB/GYNs from all over the US send their patients with these extreme conditions to one of the 3 clinics.
This Arizonia Health Dept. link of abotion stats I found is from 2013
There were 137 abortions over 21 weeks gestation.
The age was unknown in 25 of the abortions.
