The Big Late term abortion lie; none of them are elective

Today a baby has a reasonable chance of surviving if they're born at 20 to 21 weeks gestation.  But abortions are legal beyond week 32.

The virulently pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, a spin off of Planned Parenthood, says that every year roughly 12,000 viable babies are aborted each year.

Yet you'll often hear pro-abortion advocates saying that the only reason viable babies are aborted is that they're not going to live anyway.

That itself raises the obvious question that given that doctors aren't infallible and that we have many stories of doctors telling parents that their unborn baby wouldn't live and then the child living for years what sort of mother would kill her unborn child because the child might die naturally?

After all isn't giving your child a chance what being a mother is all about?

But we don't have to trust statistics to know that many late term abortions are of viable babies; we can listen to what late term abortionists say. Dr. Susan Robinson is happy to kill viable babies. Here's what she said in an interview:

"They think they just got pregnant. They have no idea they’re in their 24th week. So they make an appointment for an abortion, and it takes a few weeks, and they have their ultrasound and find out that they’re at 27 weeks, which is too far for an abortion anywhere. So then what happens? They either give up or have a baby, or they go on the Internet and they find us."

Clearly a significant fraction of the viable babies Dr. Robinson kills aren't doomed to die from natural causes.

Even the Guttmacher institute says:

“data suggest that most women seeking later terminations are not doing so for reasons of fetal anomaly or life endangerment.”

The article says that the main reasons for late term abortions are:

“they were raising children alone, were depressed or using illicit substances, were in conflict with a male partner or experiencing domestic violence, had trouble deciding and then had access problems, or were young and nulliparous.”

No matter whether you trust the statistics, the abortionists, or the Guttmacher institute the message is the same; late term abortions of viable babies are often elective and not required.
