Doing so requires asking pointed, direct questions to expose the thinking that lies underneath.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, how frequent are late-term abortions, exactly?<\/p>\n<p>According to the CDC&#8217;s annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/volumes\/71\/ss\/ss7110a1.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">abortion surveillance report<\/a>, 0.9% of abortions in 2020 \u2014 the most recent year available \u2014 were committed after 21 weeks, a gestational age at which children are capable of surviving <em>outside<\/em> the womb. Another 5.8% were committed between 14 weeks and 20 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 620,327 abortions were reported to the CDC, although California, Maryland, and New Hampshire did not provide data \u2014 meaning the total number of abortions was certainly much higher. Of that number, 0.9% equals <strong>5,582<\/strong> abortions committed <strong>after 21 weeks<\/strong> in just 2020 alone; of abortions between 14 and 20 weeks, 5.8% would equal 35,978 abortions. Together, that is <em>over 40,000 abortions past the first trimester<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>While 40,000 is a much smaller number than 620,327, it&#8217;s still a significant number of preborn children, thousands of whom could survive outside of the womb, who were instead killed through abortion.<\/p>\n<p>If 40,000 (or even 5,582) people died from a terrorist attack, it&#8217;s unlikely that &#8216;this is a small percentage of the population&#8217; would be the first statement from the pro-abortion crowd. Yet when it comes to abortion, because these humans were killed in the name of &#8220;choice,&#8221; the death toll is downplayed, even mocked as insignificant.<\/p>\n<p>The Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion organization and former research arm of Planned Parenthood, issued a report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/article\/2022\/11\/abortion-incidence-and-service-availability-united-states-2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">last year<\/a>; they collect their data directly from abortionists, and said 930,160 abortions were committed in 2020. Though the Guttmacher Institute did not give a breakdown of abortions by gestational age, using the CDC&#8217;s percentages, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/100k-children-aborted-after-first-trimester-year\/\">that would mean<\/a> an estimated 53,949 were committed between 14 and 20 weeks, and an estimated <strong>8,371 committed after 21 weeks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Using these numbers, this means over 62,000 preborn children were estimated to have been killed in the second and third trimesters in just one year: 2020.<\/p>\n<p>(Now imagine these thousands of deaths for <em>each<\/em> year abortion was legal in the United States under Roe.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jAbRlqcIsNc?si=mPVGUkFzzwxs-gyr\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Do pro-abortion politicians support abortion until birth?<\/h3>\n<p>Numerous people hit back at the notion of politicians who support no limits on abortion.

He was expressing his support for the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/virginia-democrat-abortion-bill-labor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Repeal Act<\/a>, which would have legalized abortion until birth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When we talk about third-trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of, obviously, the mother with the consent of the physicians \u2013 more than one physician, by the way \u2013 and it\u2019s done in cases where there may be severe deformities. There may be a fetus that\u2019s nonviable,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So in this particular example, if the mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen, the infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if that\u2019s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physician and the mother.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pro-abortion politicians have also repeatedly pushed for passage of the Women&#8217;s Health Protection Act (WHPA), an <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/members-congress-force-extreme-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">extreme piece of legislation<\/a> that would allow abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, overturning pro-life state laws; it was because of that stance specifically that it was described as &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2022\/05\/09\/democrats-abortion-biden-internet-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">destined to fail<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Individual states, however, like <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/maine-house-senate-abortion-birth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maine<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/minnesota-legalizes-abortion-birth-extreme-nation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/california-pro-abortion-bills-concerns-infanticide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.state.nm.us\/2023\/03\/16\/governor-signs-house-bill-7-reproductive-and-gender-affirming-health-care-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Mexico<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/vermont-governor-signs-amendment-abortion-right\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vermont<\/a>, and more have all passed laws allowing abortion through all nine months of pregnancy since <em>Roe v.
