The funniest thing about it is, if you look at the "superior progressive countries" in Europe, they are MUCH more strict than most states currently are. France bans after 14 weeks, Sweden I believe is after 20 weeks. I brought up late-term abortion with my in-laws and they looked at me like I was Frankenstein or something.
They also don't have nearly the amount of abortions that we do in this country. Not counting California and one other state, over 600k were reported in 2021 alone.

Edit: I should note that thanks to the data we have (sans California and several other states) we can roughly calculate that 31,106 abortions occurred after week 13. Of those, 4,070 occurred after week 21.
It's interesting data that shows conclusively that later term abortions are actually a thing that happens, but also extremely disappointing that some of the larger states don't submit their data for this.
Currently (9:00 pm) looking east towards North Seattle to about downtown from the island. Super odd to see this at night looking east.
And it’s gone
