I am just gonna leave this here...that is all. Let get a bit more rational about these things ok? Yes, I know this is not how the majority views these things on here. And I know it's not a rational subject. Anything I say will probably fall on deaf ears and will be completely ignored. Oh, well.
Also, just look at the data highlighted here. Just sayin'.....the data doesn't lie: it doesn't happen. And when it does, extenuating factors are involved.

I am tired of seeing misinformed bullshit opinions about late-term abortions, because crackpots have worked themselves into a froth AGAIN, and spread lies. Ignorance is no excuse.
1) Late-term abortion, as a form of birth control, is a myth. They DO NOT happen. Stop listening to nonsensical rhetoric from authoritarian liars who don't care about the truth. The laws are very clear about the viability of a child and the body autonomy of a woman. Pregnancies terminated at the 7-9 month range are terminated because the child is going to die, or a mixture of complications related to the child's viability and the threat to the mother's life. Nobody gets a late-term abortion because they changed their minds.
2) As science advances, these medical factors erode more and more - and the viability point for an unborn child moves sooner and sooner into the gestation.
3) Considering 1 and 2, pregnancies that are terminated within this period of time are exceedingly rare. Abortions overall are down because sex education and access to birth control have expanded. As these two elements advance further, the ratio of unwanted pregnancies decreases. The data is clear.
4) The women and families who have to undergo a procedure like this are suffering a tragic thing. They do not need to be dragged through the news every time these ignorant fucks decide to throw fits. Stop giving them the floor. Stop talking about this myth. It's bullshit, and you're hurting people by perpetuating this nonsense.

On a more personal note: I am so sorry for what your sister is going through, Simple. I wish her all the best and hope for a miracle.
