Examples of late abortions
Lately a lot of news outlets have been asserting that Tiller's Wichita facility was one of only three places where you could get your unborn baby killed after 21 weeks. And most also implied, if not said outright, that these abortions are only done for compelling health reasons, or because the baby has some condition "incompatible with life".
Well, I'm gonna go through my cases -- most of which were also fatal to the mother -- for cases after 21 weeks.

Yeah, there's some seriously sloppy reporting -- confusing "late" abortion, which I think means those in the second *half* of pregnancy, or greater than 20 weeks, since that's how the Abortion Surveillance report delineates it (they have abortion information by week up until 21 weeks and beyond, when they're all grouped together) confusing them with third-trimester abortions, which by definition take place at 26-27 weeks or above. Of course, since viability is about 24 weeks -- depending on your definition, but in the US babies born at this gestational age have a 50/50 shot of living -- that further tends to confuse the masses and the media, since it's one more number.
ReplyDeleteThis article from Australia mentioned a report from public health records, and showed that 5x as many late abortions were done for psycho-social reasons than were done for fetal abnormality. There was no mention of abortions done to save the life or health of the mother. That's because women who are pregnant with a wanted baby, who end up having pregnancy complications and truly need their pregnancy to be ended too soon will not kill their babies as the first step in ending a pregnancy, but will just have an induction or C-section, to save the baby *and* themselves.
We have heard twice now that late term abortions are being done in the IWK, which is the Children's Hospital, a place that is synonmous with caring for children, especially children with special needs. Now it will be synonmous with a place to kill those who are too much trouble.

Abortion is not a welcome subject to me, one of my girlfriends aborted a long time ago without telling me anything, I wasn't even aware that she was pregnant.
