<\/div>

Now that Congress is looking at a bill that would prohibit abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy, we can expect that abortion profiteer Planned Parenthood and its allies will begin the push to disseminate a lot of misinformation.<\/p>\n

It is important to note, first and foremost, that despite the often-repeated lie that abortions after 20 weeks are only committed for reasons’ of women’s “health,” reasons,\u00a0Planned Parenthood actually considers all abortions legitimate, for any reason whatsoever, calling every abortion (including late-term ones) “medically necessary<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

But if late-term abortions are truly only done for health reasons, why is there no mention of this on Planned Parenthood’s own website<\/a> when listing abortion services up to 24 weeks?<\/p>\n

Several Planned Parenthood facilities in California commit abortions<\/a> up to 24 weeks, the legal point of viability. One\u00a0undercover video<\/a> features a Planned Parenthood staffer admitting as much. In the video below, Planned Parenthood social worker Randi Coun tells a woman seeking a sex-selection abortion,\u00a0“I can tell you that here at Planned Parenthood we believe that it’s not up to us to decide what is a good or a bad reason for somebody to decide to terminate a pregnancy.”<\/p>\n
