We know it is basically non-existent. If 1% of all abortions in the US are done at 21 or more weeks it could be no more (assuming it ever happens) than .001% of all abortions. This is based on 1 million abortions (rounded) performed in 2023 (Guttmacher). by the way up ~9% since RvW was overturned.
Yep pretty far fetched. Heck it is difficult for child free women to get a doctor to agree to perform a tubal ligation.
Just because you say it doesn't happen, doesn't mean it doesn't.
I dated a guy once years ago. He told he his ex had had 6 abortions. People used to always say oh, no one would use abortion as birth control because that would be wrong.
I broke up with him...for many reasons..one of which, I couldn't respect anyone who would allow 6 of his babies to be aborted.
Sage Steele presses RFK Jr. on his late-term abortion stance
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he opposes limits on abortions even if the pregnancy is "full term" during an interview on "The Sage Steele Show."
Bill Maher is the only one who has the balls to say, " yes, abortion is murder and I am ok with it."
As a woman, I think abortion should be a women's health issue. Nothing more or less. But why many of these pro choice people have to pretend a fetus is not a life. Totally disgusting.
You miss the big point. All of the examples I listed would have been 1%'ers ten years, but, slowly became normalized and then our medical institutions figured out how to monetize them.
Yet over the decades that abortion was legal the percentages, actual documented percentages, have not changed significantly. To my knowledge never exceeded 1%.
Transgenderism has been around a while as well. It has just been kept in the closet, nothing changed.
The gender dysphoria and puberty blockers is a very recent fad which is already phasing out.
And dont forget the most important thing. Late term abortions are preformed due to serious medical issues and in most cases the fetus and/or mother would die or have life long severe problems. With gender surgery this is not the case.
Name ONE condition in the health of the mother that requires a late term abortion. And my baby daddy left so I am having mental health issues doesn't count.
Name one resaon why you, not the pregnant woman or her doctor, should determine the risk factor and if or at what point her life is at a high enough percentage of death to abort the fetus.
Many of you are scoffing at the <1% saying it is too high. So would <1% risk of death to the mother if whe continues the pregnancy be ok with you?
This is what drives me bonkers about the pro abortion side - just own up to it already. And I'll give credit where credit is due because RFK, Jr actually did: he believes that full term abortion is okay and should be left up to the woman to decide.
Point. Blank. Period.
What he said is quoted. Stop cherry picking and quote the entire statement in context.

You are comparing gathered statistical data with what a guy you once dated said.

Do you think they leave the baby in there if they have heart disease or kidney failure?
You do realize that the baby is going to come out.
So, knowing that, if the baby has to be delivered anyway, why is it necessary to kill the baby?
Name one reason why murdering babies is okay with you.

I would add cancer treatment that is incompatible with pregnancy. Also, I knew a woman who was pregnant with conjoined twins that were connected in such a way that they could never survive. Ending that pregnancy was much safer for her and her health, so she was able to go one and have other children.
