    I don’t know anybody advocating for surgery for kids or late-term abortions. I also don’t know any conservatives advocating for “energy independence” but privatization, which is different. Kamala agrees with securing the border and creating jobs, though. This is so weak and weird.

      I am fine with late term abortions and we should have them as an option. They make up about 1% of abortions. These are abortions that happen after 21 weeks and can include reasons like:

      -fetus abnormalities in the brain that cannot be caught until the third trimester or even doctors not fully disclosing severities because they are pro-life,

      -unwanted pregnancy to a woman that didn’t know she was pregnant until later on,

      -finances changing or even relationships changing

      -barriers preventing women from getting abortions (financial such as not having enough money to pay out of pocket or having to travel out of state which frequently required both more money and multiple visits because of policy)

      You can read more here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9321603/

      I’ve also read a separate study I cannot find that included women who were addicted to drugs wanting an abortion but addiction made it complicated to get an abortion early on.

      But anyway the reason doesn’t matter to me at this point, the conversation should be between a woman and her doctor, not politicians.

        Yep. I may be wrong, but Roe v Wade was also privacy protection not just abortion access. Correct? So I agree fully either way.

      Late term abortions aren’t even a thing. If the fetus is viable to survive outside the womb, or has a chance to be viable, it’s just a c section. This whole narrative that anyone kills viable babies is completely made up.

        Not entirely accurate. Late-term abortions are a thing, but it’s almost always a case of either some birth defect incompatible with life, or the life of the mother being at significant risk. In situations where abortion was always a realistic option, late-term abortions are almost always abortions for pregnancies that were wanted.

        There has been one case I can recall from the last two decade or so of a single doctor performing post-viability abortions, and he ended up being criminally charged.
