    Late term abortions aren’t even a thing. If the fetus is viable to survive outside the womb, or has a chance to be viable, it’s just a c section. This whole narrative that anyone kills viable babies is completely made up.

      Not entirely accurate. Late-term abortions are a thing, but it’s almost always a case of either some birth defect incompatible with life, or the life of the mother being at significant risk. In situations where abortion was always a realistic option, late-term abortions are almost always abortions for pregnancies that were wanted.

      There has been one case I can recall from the last two decade or so of a single doctor performing post-viability abortions, and he ended up being criminally charged.
