Tbh late stage abortions are incredibly rare and mainly because of a host of medical issues. Nobody willingly does it, and the stories of women and families that have gone through that? very difficult.
They frame it like this deliberately, or through sheer ignorance. The idea that women are simply on a casual whim deciding to abort at a late stage. It is not like that at all, this is babies with serious health issues who wouldn't survive, or it threatens the life of the mother. They still effectively have to give birth to a dead baby also. Nobody on the outside with their apparent "morals" or an overbearing government should interfere in that.

This image and thread is so eye-opening, thank you.
My take aways are:
3rd trimester abortions make up less than 1% of abortions
At this point in a pregnancy it's usually because of medical reasons and is something the mothers don't want to have to do but have to.
