Do most states allow partial-birth abortion?
I think they all do, as it appears that abortion is legal at any stage.
Partial birth abortion was invented to harvest body parts. Instead of injecting a strong saline solution into the amniotic fluid and killing the baby, then it being still-born, the mother is talked into allowing the infant to be used for medical science. There is big business for harvested parts. I guess this makes the mother feel better, or something. Probably makes her feel that something good can come out of something she deems bad. I think that most people today are so inundated with violence and gore from the movie industry that they can no longer appreciate they are taking a human life...nor do they care. It no longer matters that this is an innocent life that is being sacrificed for the acts of others. Only a very small percentage of abortions are performed for rape...less than 1%. I would venture to say that those who later regret having had an abortion are still in the minority. Our whole society has come to view rights and vice as more important than life, righteousness, honesty, integrity, etc. We are slipping down the slope to destruction at a terrifyingly fast speed! It is no longer good enough to compare ourselves to other countries and say that with all our warts we are still better than any other country. We reek with an unpleasant aroma to the One whose favor we should be seeking.
It's not clear. There are states like Missouri, that have faithfully passed legislation and voter-passed referrendums only to have them struck down by a judge in every single case, only to pass more legislation and initiatives and have them struck down. But it's available within driving distance. So even though St. Louis lacks a late term abortion facility, E. St. Louis, Ill., does have one...

Why is your account banned?
The Supreme Court, however, told Nebraska that they could not do so.
So, yes, most states do allow partial birth abortions.
But not because they necessarily want to.
