In reply to the discussion: Tulsi Gabbard Introduces Bill to Block Abortion of Fetuses Capable of Feeling Pain [View all]WhiskeyGrinder
(22,315 posts)41. As m'learned friend Lantern Waste says, it's an objective standard.
Requiring admitting privileges at hospitals -- a restriction -- closed clinics, restricting access. People who have to travel for access have to pay money for travel, day/s off, maybe hotels. In my state, a minor who wants an abortion needs permission for both parents. If that's not possible, a judge decides. But all of that rigamarole means delay, making it harder to get an abortion. Every restriction you name hurts people who want abortions.

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