That is not a healthy nine month fetus.
Are you in favor of a woman having to carry a dead, or dying, fetus in her uterus until full term? Currently many states do require that. The New York state law that was replaced required that.
The new law allows an abortion after 24 weeks for the woman's life being in danger or a nonviable fetus. It does not just allow wholesale abortion after 24 weeks.
But go ahead and spin out Fox News bullshit for them all you want.

Bingo. This is it.
This new law does not mean you can have an abortion any time you want during the pregnancy. It means that if the child will not live through the delivery or cannot live outside of the womb, a late term abortion is permittable.
The way the old law worked was that if the child was having issues and would not live, after a certain point you had to carry the child full term, knowing that the baby would die during childbirth AND put the mother at extreme risk.
I am tired of the spin Fox News puts on everything.
