Reasons for Abortions after 15 Weeks
Research shows that abortions after 15 weeks are most frequently performed for the same reasons as earlier abortions.
Fetuses at 15 weeks are not "babies".
They don't know who, what or where they are or have any concept of self or a larger world.
If there is any consciousness at all, it's on the level of an insect at best.
For you to try to compare a medical procedure done for legitimate medical purposes, to horribly abusing and inflicting cruel, agonizing pain on live, adult animals just to satisfy some sick, twisted urge, proves how far down in the sewer the average right-wing redneck hillbilly mind dwells.
GTFOH.
