Reply #33: There are cases of voluntary late term abortions [View All]

But they are the exception not the rule. However the right turns this to its advantage. The mere fact that there have been a handfull of voluntary late term procedures denies the left from saying it never happens. This gives the right the moral high ground and allows them to howl all the more.

But the standing practice is that beyond a reasonable date a voluntary abortion is not considered. The criteria is based on a number of factors but primary is the development of the nervous system and the brain.

Beyond this point in the pregnancy it would take a severe health consideration for a doctor to intervine. The right would have you believe that doctors are just hanging around materinity stores asking expectant mothers if they want an abortion.
