Late-term abortions are not a myth. They’re happening.

In the course of Kamala Harris’s charge for reproductive freedom, we’ve heard a lot about the 14 states that have banned access to abortion and the 27 others that have restrictions based on gestational duration.

But we’ve heard little to nothing about the nine states and the District of Columbia that allow abortion no matter what the age of the fetus. This basically means up until the moment of birth.

At 32 weeks, when Hern is willing to terminate a nearly fully formed infant, the fetus is settling into the head-down position, preparing for birth. For the remaining seven to eight weeks, it gains a third to half its birth weight, which may be why Hern prefers a 32-week limit, although he’ll operate even later. Fully formed babies are a lot more trouble to destroy.

Which are the nine states?

Even if they are happening all we have to do is say they aren’t happening and for you to stop spreading disinformation or we will put you in prison.

Starting as a conservative commentator at a Tampa newspaper, Parker did a turnabout as a lib after taking a gig at the WaPo. It almost seems she’s creeping back toward the right. But no thanks; the Post can keep her.

But they provide PP lots of dough in the spare parts market. Double sick. Of course this gives the lie to their claim that a baby is just a clump of cells; to them a baby is a spare parts bonanza.

They’ll do that anyway.
