20. Safe, legal and rare? That's what abortions after 21 weeks are -- at least, in 25 states.

Abortions after 21 weeks make up about 1 percent of all abortions, and the main reasons people get them are fetal anomalies, health of the pregnant person, and less common but more importantly, delay in access.

"Viability" is a moving target and creates barriers. "Late term abortion" also means different things to different people. Restricting abortion will always hurt the people who need them. Always.

The good news is that Gabbard is retiring from public service. n/t Eyeball_Kid Dec 2020 #1
