While early abortions reportedly comprise a large percentage of abortions committed every year, late-term abortions — those that take place in the second and third trimesters — are not as “rare” as the media and abortion industry claim. Rather than describe the violence of abortion, the media instead fixates on whether anti-abortion advocates are using “medically accurate” terminology. They have claimed that terms such as “partial-birth abortion<\/a>” and “late-term abortion<\/a>” were invented by pro-lifers to somehow stigmatize these procedures. But Live Action News previously<\/a> dispelled this deceptive talking point, documenting how the media and abortion industry have used the term “late-term abortion” for years (many still do). A few examples are below.<\/p>\n

What is a “late-term abortion?”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simple answer: An abortion at or greater than thirteen weeks.<\/p>\n

Abortionist and abortion researcher Dr. Daniel Grossman told\u00a0Parents.com<\/a>\u00a0that most Americans view an abortion to be “late-term” if it is performed after 12 weeks, or 3 months. Grossman is on staff at the\u00a0Bixby Center<\/a>\u00a0at the University of California, San Francisco, which trains abortionists — and as Live Action News has documented<\/a>, Grossman is saturated in the abortion movement.<\/p>\n

As you can see in this image published<\/a> on Planned Parenthood’s website (fetal development page separate from the corporation’s abortion page), babies at 13 weeks and older are more developed.<\/p>\n
