It's not even the mother's decision. It's the doctor's.

The phrase "partial-birth abortion" was first coined by Douglas Johnson of the National Right to Life Committee.

This disgusting terminology is an outright disingenuous invention of the anti-choice movement to further stigmatize a third-trimester abortion, WHICH IS ONLY DONE FOR RADICAL, NECESSARY MEDICAL PURPOSES.

have made up a thing, forget the doctors who are telling you that you're endangering women.

After all it's not like their lives matter. Yes, lets kill women by forcing gestation because people want white babies and not the hundreds of thousands already in need of families.
