Democrats Want Bill for Abortion Up to Birth in First 100 Hours of Congress

A Massachusetts law allowing abortion at any point in pregnancy is in effect as of Sunday, November 8, after an emergency filing by Democrat Governor Maura Healey prevented the law from being suspended as more than 113,000 residents called for its repeal, well over twice the number needed to put repeal on the ballot in 2028.

The law allows elective abortion through all nine months for any reason based on the “professional judgment” of an abortionist and forbids any external medical review from overriding it, making the Bay State the latest of a dozen U.S. states to legalize abortion on demand up until birth. The U.S. is 1 of 8 countries in the world along with China that allows abortion at any point, according to a 2024 study from the Charlotte Lozier Institute.

Reviews of publicly available data show approximately 96% of abortions, regardless of gestational age, occur for elective or unspecified reasons. Second- and third-trimester abortions are generally done by dismemberment of the baby or labor induction.

Per the Charlotte Lozier Institute, research shows unborn babies can feel pain as early as 12 weeks’ gestation—when the baby’s unique fingerprints begin developing, which is also around the point of pregnancy when dismemberment abortions are first performed. Tens of thousands of abortions each year occur after this point. At 24 weeks, an unborn baby reacts to loud noises, can sense light, and is drawn to faces. These babies can feel pain and survive outside of the womb.

Inducing labor may result in a live birth if the abortionist has not first delivered a lethal injection into the baby’s heart, which many admit they do not. Many states do not have strong protections requiring medical care for babies born alive after surviving an abortion attempt.

SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser issued a rallying cry to the pro-life movement:

“Legalizing barbaric late-term abortions any time for any reason is the Democrats’ plan for the entire country in their first 100 hours of taking over Congress. They have promised to eliminate the filibuster and repeal the Hyde Amendment to make taxpayers fund abortion on demand with no limits. To a radical party whose priorities remain deeply out of touch with the majority of America, this is what constitutes an emergency: over 1.1 million abortions a year still aren’t enough for them.

“Our congressional allies must vehemently fight back, and in 2028, we must nominate a party leader who will advocate a national minimum standard to stop inhumane late-term abortions. Babies in Boston, Los Angeles, New York, and Minneapolis are no less deserving of protection and we cannot stand by and let pro-abortion extremists drag the entire country’s human rights standard down to that of China and Vietnam.”

Well, why not make it the parents’ choice up until age 18 or legal emancipation? Why settle for half measures. /sarc

With fewer trips to soccer games, birthday parties and such, it will lower the price of gasoline.
