20 weeks is not pushing anything especially in states where it is extremely difficult to get an abortion. Some states require multiple doctor visits which can mean multiple days off work. That is not an easy task for many who are living paycheck to paycheck.
Also, who the fuck calls themselves pro-abortion?
That said, I read that she was about 28 weeks along. At that point it is considered a stillborn and needs to be properly disposed of. Burning the body and burying it in a friend's yard does not fall under proper disposal.
I do. I am also pro-angioplasty and pro- root canal. These are all great medical procedures, and while it's sad when an individual needs them, its great that they exist.
It's absolutely a poor way to label yourself and the far right latch onto that and use it to convince their base that all pro choice people want more abortions and want to force those abortions on others. While you may have your own definition, it will absolutely be taken and used against you by the far right especially when you make it easy for them.
It's a poor way to frame your position. It somewhat implies you want more of them to happen. Personally I'd prefer no abortions happen. Not because they're illegal, but because there's no need for the operation. I'd also prefer no need for angioplasty or root canals. Kinda like the idiots that call themselves "pro life" yet support the death penalty and think it needs to be used more.
I mean me, abortion is great if done correctly and doesn't endanger the mother.
I have no idea as a guy with no kids how far along 20 weeks is in the gestation cycle. Other than there are about 4.3 weeks in a month and that'll put them just under 5 months along? Seems pretty far along to me but again i don't know the process.
