re: #181 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

In addition, the biggest factor pushing abortions into the 20+ week range when it’s not a medical emergency is obstruction of access to abortion clinics. Many working women can’t afford in time or money the four doctor’s visits that the laws in some areas mandate, in any sort of timely fashion.

So if you want to reduce late-term abortion, fund abortion clinics generously.

I’m just waiting for some wingnut legislator out there to propose a law mandating a 15 week waiting period. Combine that with a 20 week ban, and nearly everything will be banned. Wingnut judges would rule such a law as being reasonable because 15 is less than 20.
