Reply #9: Third trimester abortions [View All]

[Sadie4629]

are rare, thankfully, and MAY (mostly) be done when there are serious birth defects, but CAN LEGALLY be done for any reason--including a woman changing her mind about having a baby.

In fact, the only third trimester abortion I can recall making the news (probably about ten years ago) is that of an Indian-American girl who had been impregnated by her brother. The abortion was done because of the girl's age and circumstances of her pregnancy. There was no evidence that the fetus had any abnormalities.
