You're being disingenuous. The site discusses the different types of abortion including two that are used for full-term pregnancies. Full-term abortions may be used when the fetus dies in utero. if the baby is alive, no doctor is going to perform a full-term abortion, they'll perform a C-section or induce labor. Women do NOT go full term and then just decide they don't want the baby and have an abortion.

Abortions in the 9th month are apparently not the fantasy that some make it out to be. Obviously very rare, but still possible and some docs will do it and some states allow it. |

While part of me agrees with the decision to overturn roe v Wade and allow each state to decide for themselves, I hope the abortion issue does galvanize enough women to help Trump lose the election. I don't want Trump having the power to pass a new law making abortion illegal after 2 months.

Who made it out to be a fantasy? The only "fantasy" is the raging GOP narrative that it is the vast majority of abortions when it is actually exceedingly rare. It comes from the same warped minds who spouted the sick-but-hilarious Trumpian nonsense of "abortion after birth".

Republican talking point Trump repeats:
The morons repeating this nonsense that babies are murdered in the 9th month because the law says it is legal are being willfully blind to the facts. The way some people here are describing it is disingenuous, deceitful, purposefully distorted and using a cherry picked argument that it is allowed without considering how and when it is allowed. The left repeating "it's rare" feeds the sound-bite liars. I know you all hate it when I say it but stop with the narrative "it's rare". That bit is cherry picked out of your comments no matter how carefully you describe/explain why or how it is ever done. Sometimes a pregnancy needs to be terminated when there is a viable fetus after ~7 months when the pregnancy threatens the mother and/or the fetus (examples placenta abruption, preeclampsia with uncontrollable hypertensive crisis, severe trauma requiring terminating the pregnancy, ruptured membranes, etc). When that happens every effort is made to keep the fetus>now an infant alive. Fetuses are not killed and aborted. Rather, emergency C-sections are performed. Sometimes a fetus in the third month is delivered because of premature labor; in that case a vaginal delivery is unavoidable. The cutoff for successful birth of a premie keeps getting smaller. When the right intensive care options are available babies born that were just under 9 ounces have survived. 'World's smallest' surviving premature baby released from US hospital
Quote:
No doctor or nurse midwife would kill a viable outside the womb fetus in order to perform an abortion. No hospital or birth center would allow it. The only reason a law might not be specific about when an abortion is no longer allowed is because that would again be legislators practicing medicine without a license. Legislators know full well viable infants are not killed. Even if a mother didn't want the child it would not be delivered early for that reason. Rather the pregnancy would continue and after birth the baby put up for adoption. THAT'S COMMON SENSE UNLESS YOU ARE AN ALT-RIGHT IDIOT WHO SUCCUMBED TO THE MYTH VIABLE BABIES ARE MURDERED, or unless you are that politician like Trump repeating the myth for political purposes. |

Very appropriate use of highlighting above.

Anyone who would still vote for Trump in 2024 is just stupid enough to believe this lie that Trump keeps repeating. He knows his audience: dumb as a box of rocks.
