Yeah, No. That's not gonna work on me anymore. Valiant effort though.
See, the funny thing is that I know you won't answer the question I asked you in my opening post to you. Like... ever. Even though I am now giving you the answer to the question you asked me that you only used to obfuscate your refusal to answer mine.
Here's your answer: (consider this one a freebee...)
"Perhaps you can start by explaining why America needs partial birth abortions" -georges
What you call "partial birth abortions" consist of about .02% of all abortions performed in this country. We're talking a little over 2,000 in a year.
"And contrary to the claims of some abortion opponents, most such abortions do not take place in the third trimester of pregnancy, or after fetal "viability." Indeed, when some members of Congress tried to amend the bill to ban only those procedures that take place after viability, abortion opponents complained that would leave most of the procedures legal." -(see link)
So it appears that abortion opponents themselves didn't even want it made illegal. But the thing is, these types of abortions only ever take place to save the life of the mother during a potentially lethal complication of a pregnancy. They are only performed when medically necessary.
And the whole argument about pregnancies after the second trimester is moot anyways since abortions in the third trimester are essentially unheard of. The word myth springs to mind. Propaganda springs to mind quickly thereafter. The link I included goes into more detail about it if you care to broaden your perspective.
So your answer is that they are very rare and they are needed because they are medically necessary.
See, this is why I wanted to get some idea from you of the image the "pro-life" propagandists have constructed in your head of the women they want you to think are busting down doors of abortion clinics to get abortions 36 weeks into their pregnancies.
And wow! Talk about timing! I just answered your question, so here's the perfect opportunity for you to answer mine! (Not that you actually will). You're new here, so I don't mind giving you an extra last chance.
So don't go on to another topic. Don't obfuscate and distract. Don't use anything I just said to start another discussion. Simply answer my question and we can go on from there (or not). Show how fair and honest a person you are.
I hope you surprise me...! 🤞
