Fewer than 2200/year or 0.2% of the 1.3 million abortions performed yearly are past 24 weeks. But, the anti-abortion propagandists have successfully maligned procedures at this stage of pregnancy by calling them "Partial Birth Abortions" (not a medical term, but a political one). Even pro-choice Democrats don't understand the reality of late abortion.
On the "Reality Check" web site (and yes, I do find the name of the site quite ironic), Ann Rose tries really hard to justify the late term abortion procedure. Now, this is really tough thing to do and most Americans would not support Ms. Rose's position. Read it for yourself and then... read the comments. I wonder if writing this makes Ms. Rose feel better about a procedure that is clearly the murder of an innocent human being. I would guess yes... and that probably why she spent so much time thinking it through. Nice try, but I'm not buying it... and neither do most people. Make up your own mind.
