An abortion care provider pushed back on questions from a Republican congressman when she was asked about whether she would ever abort a foetus that was halfway through the birth canal.
The questioning took place during a House Judiciary Committee hearing focusing on how abortion rights are at risk. The hearing came after Politico reported a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe v Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that enshrined the right of women to seek an abortion.
Representative Mike Johnson of Louisiana asked Dr Yashica Robinson, an obstetrician-gynecologist based in Huntsville, Alabama, whether she supports the right of a woman who is seconds away from birthing a healthy child to terminate a pregnancy.

Why are people who have zero understanding of pregnancy, birthing, abortion, prenatal, postnatal healthcare, etc, making legislation about it? Why is this even legislated??? There are no laws that legislate male anatomy or male healthcare.
No one is getting to birth and saying "oh yeah I'm tired of this, yeet this fetus." No one is getting to that point in later in pregnancy abortions. Any later in pregnancy abortion (after 22-24 weeks) is a WANTED pregnancy. They are terminated because the fetus is no longer viable and/or impacts the life of the mother. No one is giving birth and getting an abortion. JFC.

What if the world ended tomorrow? Would our Progressives stop making up worst case scenarios like they were commonplace?
What if abortion already killed the next 5 Mohandas Gandhi’s, a scientist who developed the next energy breakthrough, and Lord knows who else? 63,459,781 people killed since 1973. This is genocide plain and simple. I personally believe it’s racist, after all that’s what Planned Parenthood is.
Abortion doesn't kill babies. Definition of baby: "a very young child, especially one newly or recently born." So no that many "people" have not been killed.
If you wanna start giving zygotes, embryos and fetuses personhood - then they get benefits. The first positive pregnancy test, any males that person slept with around the time she finds out automatic child support. The pregnant person gets to also take out a life insurance policy on the cells. An undocumented immigrant is pregnant on US soil - they can't be deported.
How about are employees going to start being charged with child labor for those who are pregnant? Do they get to use the carpool lane while pregnant? Does the zygote, embryo or fetus get any kind of benefits since you all wanna consider them "people?" If not, why not?
Rape isn't a "worse case scenario.' It happens every f* day to women AND men. Probably more often than anyone knows since it's so underreported. Pregnancies result from rape. Young children get pregnant due to rape. Incest. Those are things that actually happen.
