In reply to the discussion: Fuck your "pro-life" anti-abortion, pro-gun, anti-white privilege arguments. [View all]nomorenomore08
(13,324 posts)42. FYI about 90% of abortions are performed in the first trimester. And the majority of others
are performed due to severe, often fatal (to the fetus) complications - in that case, I'd certainly say "late-term" abortion was the lesser evil at least.
But this is all a strawman anyway, because when people say shit like "reasonable time limits" what they really mean is women are too fucking stupid to know what's best for them!
