I hate to be the guy who ruins all the fun with the facts, but it’s my purpose in life
http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/fb_induced_abortion.html (referenced by a couple of anti-choice sites)
First of all, i doubt you’ll find very many doctors who would do a third term abortion without the mother’s life being at risk.
Second the facts are:
only 1.1% of abortions occur at or beyond 21 weeks, that is about 12,000 people a year
only .08% or about 1000 of 1.3 million abortions occur after 24 weeks.
Third
The fact that people who want to control other people’s bodies assume that this late term procedure is a) common, b) done for the convenience of the patient and c) is done with little or no thought, just demonstrates how their religious beliefs view any fetus, at any point, in any condition is more entitled to rights than the Woman it is growing in.
I believe it’s best said:
Keep your laws/religions off my body.
