But what exactly does this language mean?ĬNN spoke earlier this year with two ob-gyns and asked them to explain. It peppered conversations, fueled social media battles and inspired Trump’s rhetoric. With New York’s passage of a new Reproductive Health Act and Northam’s voiced support of a measure that would loosen restrictions on abortions later in pregnancy, the phrase “late-term abortion” began making headlines. Ralph Northam “would execute a baby after birth.” Trump’s contention that babies can be killed after birth is one he referenced in his State of the Union address earlier this year, when he called on Congress “to pass legislation to prohibit the late-term abortion of children.” He said this right after he first accused New York lawmakers of cheering for “legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother’s womb moments before birth” and then said Virginia Gov.

Clearly, she doesn’t represent the mainstream opinion of the American people.US President Donald Trump gestures as he speaks during a Make America Great Again rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, April 27, 2019. Torres previously claimed that “God performs more than I do,” and has said that preborn babies can’t scream, because she cuts their cords first. The doctor will, in those cases, induce labor or perform a c-section - neither of which are abortions. In an emergency situation, where the mother’s life is at immediate risk and the baby needs to be delivered, an OB/GYN is not going to take a chance on committing a procedure which takes several days. The fact is, abortion is never medically necessary. It’s a violent procedure, committed at a time when the preborn child can almost certainly feel pain, and carries significant risks for the mother.Īnd while Torres - along with other abortion advocates - frequently try to claim that these late-term abortions are recommended in case of a medical emergency, this, too, is false. The abortionist then empties her womb of amniotic fluid, and then uses a sopher clamp to literally rip the baby apart, limb from torso. One to two days later, the mother returns to the abortion facility, where her cervix is further dilated. This procedure, which takes multiple days, begins when the abortionist inserts laminaria sticks into the woman’s cervix to induce dilation. The most common second trimester abortion procedure is a D&E (dilation and evacuation) procedure. And when you consider what late-term abortions involve, that’s not surprising. Less than 30 percent support legal abortion in the second trimester, which indicates that Torres is the one with the extreme position. In fact, according to Gallup, just 13 percent of Americans want abortion legal in the last three months of pregnancy. The problem with Torres’ flippant response is that, by her benchmark, most Americans are not “pro-choice.” It is true that a slight majority of Americans want abortion to remain legal however, the overwhelming majority favor heavy restrictions - including on late-term abortion.

And not only does she support late-term abortion, Torres recently insisted that anyone who calls themselves “pro-choice” can only be so if they likewise support late-term abortion. For Torres, there is evidently no regulation or restriction on abortion that she would ever be willing to support, even abortion at eight months pregnant. Abortionist Leah Torres is notorious for her outspoken, often inflammatory, arguments in support of abortion.
