Sentences with phrase «elective abortions when»

Not exact matches

When parents choose to terminate a pregnancy because of severe medical conditions in the baby, the medical procedure is technically a second - trimester abortion or a «late - term» abortion — and it is technically elective because parents can choose whether to let nature take its course or to end the pregnancy.

I think it is hard to argue that there is a pressing need for law or regulation in regard to late term abortion because the reality is that elective late term abortion is rarely happening and when it does happen it is for criteria that are generally deemed by the general public to be acceptable.
