I'm pretty sure that this is false. It's not an abortion, unless the intent is to prevent a living baby from being born. If you do a C-section and attempt to keep the baby alive, but the baby dies anyway, no one would call that an abortion.

"The New York law does not allow women to have 35 week I’m-so-bored abortions"

The hell it doesn't. Is the author a lawyer in addition to being an obgyn? A woman can say "I'm stressed, I have anxiety and depression because I changed my mind". And that can be enough.

This pompous author goes on and on about misinformation, and only medical doctors have a clue what they're talking about. If that's true, where does he/she get off interpreting the NY law, unless they are also a lawyer?

Everyone else is stupid except whoever wrote that, I guess.

A woman can do it with a coat hanger also with or without a lawyer or doctor.
If you have such concern about the unborn, a focus on making the great majority unnecessary by providing better options and hope would be far more effective than worrying about the few extreme examples.
Wealthy people will always have access to clinical abortions like Cohen purportedly arranged for Broidy to pay for.

"A woman can do it with a coat hanger also with or without a lawyer or doctor."

Yes she can, that's called Darwinism. She can also give it up for adoption. Last time I checked, there are no large orphanages in this country. Babies get placed.

"If you have such concern about the unborn, a focus on making the great majority unnecessary"

The vast majority of unwanted pregnancies are already unnecessary. In this country, at this time, there are all kinds of ways to not get pregnant. Is this news to you?

"and hope "

And what is more hopeful than placing a baby with a couple that cannot have one of their own, but desperately want one?

"far more effective than worrying about the few extreme examples."

Says the guy who started this post with warnings of coat hangers. Because that's not posturing or fear-mongering...

I don't disagree that adoption is a better option and tell me do you believe women of childbearing age should be able to get birth control?

It's poor alone or young and scared women who have no hope or a father that would beat them for getting pregnant that make that choice. A coat hangar or a back alley abortion were the only choice till Roe vs Wade unless you were wealthy enough to go out of the country or another state or pay for a doctor who was willing to break the law.
Just think there are fewer abortions now than before 1973.
Ideally there would be none, good luck with getting to that point.

"do you believe women of childbearing age should be able to get birth control?"

Yes. And they can. Condoms are everywhere.

"A coat hangar or a back alley abortion were the only choice till Roe vs Wade"

Adoption wasn't a choice?

If you were willing to deal with being an unmarried mother, it was quite the stigmata, though some women went to visit relatives for 6 or 7 months.
That too is not without baggage to be carried through life

when was the last time
single motherhood was stigmatized? not recently.

yes there is baggage. it’s called responsibility. not a big priority with liberals, it’s to be avoided at all
costs.
