Reply #201: Actually it IS performed for elective reasons [View All]

MEDICALLY elective reasons that is. Anti-choicers don't like to admit that there is a difference in the medical and common definition of elective, and that is how they spin their stats on how many late term abortions are done "electively". You see, an abortion which is performed due to sever fetal malformation is ELECTIVE, since it is not necessary to save the life of the mother.

You'll run into people who claim that there are plenty of elective late term abortions, and they are correct. But since they don't actually understand the medical language which they are speaking, they don't really understand what elective means in that situation. Don't let them get away with it- call them on it every single time so that people start to understand the types of "elective" abortions that could be banned.
