Late term abortions more common than deaths from rifles

Defenders of legal abortion, in politics and the news media, do not like talking about third-trimester abortions. That’s natural because, as everyone who has had a baby knows, in the third trimester of pregnancy, the not-yet-born baby looks just like a baby, acts like a baby, and is viable outside the womb.

For that reason, abortion defenders don’t like admitting that Roe v. Wade established, in effect, a constitutional right to abortion in the third trimester — as long as the abortionist said the abortion was needed for the mother’s health, which late-term abortionists will say about any pregnancy.
