says nothing about healthy fetus or normal pregnancy.
Under certain conditions and upon advice of two physicians third trimester abortions can be preformed. It occurs in 1.3 % of abortions after 21 weeks. At 38 weeks, 0.
So still no one arguing 38 week abortion for no reason. NO ONE.
Easy question that I’m guessing you will skate around.
Should third trimester abortions when there are no defects, abnormal risks to the mother or extraordinary situations such as a kidnapped rape victim be legal? Yes or no?
In the state where I had my abortion following prenatal diagnosis, the procedure would no longer be possible. At all. That goes way beyond restriction. It is illegal to end a pregnancy at that stage in that state today.
We are not debating an existing law in a specific state, so quit trying to move the goal posts.

I'll go on record with a resounding yes. That doesn't mean I approve of every reason women cite for terminating pregnancy, but fundamentally, my answer is yes.

What goal posts am I moving? Abortion is pretty much impossible in the state where I used to live. It's one of many reasons I'll never return. My current home state is unusual in that it allows third-trimester abortion and recent attempts to overturn RvW or impose additional restrictions have failed. The chipping away at abortion rights at the state level is well underway, and it won't be terribly long before RvW is law in name only. Let those of you who support abortion access but remain on the sidelines in this debate be warned. You cannot afford to stay silent.

And here you go: normal baby, no risk to mom, no crazy situations like rape and in the third trimester.

There is the example you wanted to see.
Yes, it is. I'll say it again: A woman shall retain the right to abortion in collaboration with a willing and licensed provider using a legal procedure in an accredited facility using her conscience as a guide throughout the natural term of her pregnancy. A provider shall retain the right to refuse such a procedure based on his own expertise and conscience. Is that clear enough for you?
Not really. It gave women the right to a legal abortion up until the point of viability.
I think both sides of this issue can agree that no one WANTS a viable fetus (late term) terminated. But many understand there is sometimes a medical need to do so and thus it is permitted.
There is never a reason the fetus must be killed and yes, the state can stop that from happening per RvW.

Pedro, on the other hand, proposed that he and/or other like minded pro-lifers choose based on their personal emotional convictions when a woman can get an already legal abortion. Thats during the first trimester. From the first day of your last period until twelve weeks. Many women are already 6 weeks before they are aware of the pregnancy. So a woman will have roughly six weeks to make an obgyn appt., make a decision and find an abortion facility before she needs to defer her choice for the approval of legislators.
We aren't going to criminalize that so it's a moot point.
