The legislation did not mention "late-term abortions" it >banned a procedure. Which is a particular type of abortion that is almost always used in the third trimester.

There have been some arguement that statistics on this procedure are not being kept very well. My brother-in-law and sister are both in medicine, and my sister talked about personally witnessing it at a small hospital she was at. As far as not being very available, that is only true if insurance refuses to cover it....and it costs in the tens of thousands. Otherwise, market forces will always provide a supplier. >Are you a doctor? Why do you want the government making medical decisions? Because I don't think it's a medical decision. You assume your conclusions when you make that statement. You assume that a 2 week overdue infant is not human, but an 8 week premature baby is. I don't think humans should be killed. But, the point is not even that abortion is right or wrong. It's that Democrats are taking positions that are favored by only the most liberal 10%-20% of the nation and holding fast to those positions.
