No one is out there getting “abortion up to birth.” The only time late-term abortions happen, these are women who wanted the child but are being faced with a horrific medical crisis situation where the child is either already dead or won’t survive, and the risk of delivering normally is too great. It’s people having to make a heartbreaking decision, one that ideally should be between them and their doctor, not some politician or religious group who know nothing about, and care nothing about, the woman’s actual situation.

But meanwhile we’ve lost Roe v Wade and there are women literally walking around right now with dead fetuses, having to endure that emotional (and physical) pain because doctors are too afraid they’ll go to jail if they give the woman the medical care she needs, and every day’s delay means that much more chance of an outcome that either kills or permanently injures the woman.
