Is aborting a fetus illegal in most states unless the mother is in danger? |
|
I remember some DUers saying so and i told this pro-lifer that and hes saying "not true. abortion is legal throughout pregnancy." So now I'm confused. Anyone know where i could even find this sort of info?

1. Try Planned Parenthood and the OB Gyn boards. |

If you really need help I can do so in the AM. It's bed time for us.

2. No, abortion is not illegal, Roe vs.Wade supercedes state laws |

States can make some laws that put limits on abortion as long as those limits don't conflict with Roe. SOTUS rulings pertain to all states.
I believe the time limit is 6 months which is the point of viability unless the life of the mother is at risk.
You can look up state laws on the NARAL site.
