Yes we are talking about that.
You know this gets pretty frustrating. I post the same god damn thing every 6 months, showing where you and other posters are wrong on this, just to have you all come back 6 months later with the same mistaken belief about late term abortions.
This is what???, the 3rd or 4th time I've posted this during discussions on late term abortions on who gets them and why (and each time I get "the wow I didn't know about that.")?

"......However, while the occasional politician or news reporter will still indicate that late-term abortions are most often performed in the case of “severe fetal anomalies” or to “save the woman’s life,” the trajectory of the peer-reviewed research literature has been obvious for decades:
most late-term abortions are elective, done on healthy women with healthy fetuses, and for the same reasons given by women experiencing first trimester abortions. The Guttmacher Institute has provided a number of reports over 2 decades which have identified the reasons why women choose abortion, and they have consistently reported that childbearing would interfere with their education, work, and ability to care for existing dependents; would be a financial burden; and would disrupt partner relationships. A more recent Guttmacher study focused on abortion after 20 weeks of gestation and similarly concluded that women seeking late-term abortions were not doing so for reasons of fetal anomaly or life endangerment. The study further concluded that late-term abortion seekers were younger and more likely to be unemployed than those seeking earlier abortions.4
It is estimated that about 1% of all abortions in the United States are performed after 20 weeks, or approximately 10 000 to 15 000 annually......"
As for Vermont I see someone posted bad info on that as well in a weak attempt to refute what I said.

"Summary
Vermont is one of 13 states that have enacted laws affirmatively declaring a woman’s right to choose an abortion. According to the Guttmacher Institute, it is the only state, aside from Oregon,that codified the right to abortion without government interference throughout a woman’s pregnancy, instead of only (1) prior to the viability of the fetus or (2) when necessary to protect the woman’s health or life. "
Since this study additional states have passed similar laws including Maryland and New York.
Here is an analogy of what is going on this subject in this forum. You guys are they the dog in the car.
