The garbage thing about debates over "late-term" abortions is that it is entirely political/religious. Abortions should be a medical decision made behind closed doors.

Statistics show that abortions performed beyond 20 weeks are exceedingly rare - and even rarer still when access to abortion is unfettered earlier in a pregnancy - and yet the discussion around them is continually brought up, especially in the US. There are certain scenarios beyond twenty weeks where a doctor and their patient might choose to get one: like, say, if the woman's life were threatened.

I don't want a woman and her doctor to have to justify to the state why they performed a medical procedure. Especially when the justifications for that necessity have continually been shown to be nearly irrelevant.
