Via @UniteWomen.org The most common argument heard in support of the 20 week #abortion ban is "a woman should know by then if she wants an abortion". Fact: Around 1% of all abortions are performed after 20 weeks and almost all of those are due to the health of the fetus or mother. Consider that standard testing for the viability of a fetus is done at 20 weeks. Nicole Stewart's story is extremely common. Share this with those who do not seem to understand why a woman would decide to get an abortion after 20 weeks. “The main reason I have told my story is that I don’t think a majority of people understand why a woman would want to or need to have an abortion after 20 weeks,” she said. “That’s really all I care about getting out there — that this is not an irresponsible decision. It’s not a decision against life. It’s a decision that is medically driven and really should be between a doctor, her patient and the husband — period.” #ReproRights
