Defenders of legal abortion, in politics and the news media, do not like talking about third-trimester abortions. That’s natural because, as everyone who has had a baby knows, in the third trimester of pregnancy, the not-yet-born baby looks just like a baby, acts like a baby, and is viable outside the womb.
For that reason, abortion defenders don’t like admitting that Roe v. Wade established, in effect, a constitutional right to abortion in the third trimester — as long as the abortionist said the abortion was needed for the mother’s health, which late-term abortionists will say about any pregnancy.Out of this discomfort about third-trimester abortions, Democrats insist that nobody supports allowing abortion up until birth.
The most common technique for trying to make the issue of third-trimester abortion go away is to claim falsely that it is super rare. When late-term abortion came up in the GOP debate Wednesday night, liberal journalist Katie Couric resorted to this assertion.
So no, third-trimester abortions aren’t rare. The question is whether Couric or Democrats can morally defend them.
