No it isn't. It illustrates that the existing rules have effectively eliminated what many people who want to more heavily regulate abortion are purportedly against. If non-health related late term abortions are what they're against, then they should be satisfied with the current system. But instead, advocates often use those as a boogeyman to restrict general abortion access and place a burden on those who are forced to justify a medically necessary procedure to the state due to increased restrictions.
