Abortion "up till the 9th month" claim by anti abortion advocates | Misinformation Alert 🔥

Abortions at or after 21 weeks represent less than 1% of all abortions in the US and are only in cases of medical necessity due to profound fetal abnormality or life of the mother at severe risk

Addtional Stats & Info:
  • “Abortion up until the moment of birth” is repeated regularly by many Republican candidates in a malicious misrepresentation of the Women’s Health Protection Act which provides a federal right to abortion care which would ensure that abortion be protected “at any point or points in time prior to fetal viability” and prohibited “after fetal viability when, in the good-faith medical judgment of the treating health care provider, continuation of the pregnancy would pose a risk to the pregnant patient’s life or health.”
