No, we’ve had this discussion before and there’s no evidence that such abortions are anything other that right wing propaganda. They are just seeking justifications for threatening & murdering doctors and forbidding lifesaving procedures to women.

Can’t you just give it up for adoption, or hand it to the state for care?

Except that in the case in point, women were clearly having those abortions - who knows how many clinics like this are operating?

Also, as a side note, I have met several people (normally ardent feminists) who support aborton up to nine months: I would like to hear their views on this too.
