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.
