Would you support a ban on third trimester abortions if it would settle the issue once and for all?
That’s week 27. It would be a federal guarantee and we’d never need to talk about it ever again.

Yes, except to save the life of the mother, or if the fetus isn't viable and carrying it threatens the health of the mother. The standard in Roe v. Wade was abortions are illegal after the fetus is viable outside the womb. With modern tech, that's probably around 25 weeks. The few late term abortions are non-viable fetuses; otherwise they're illegal by the Roe standard.
Interesting info on who is getting abortions when. 92% occur in the first trimester; they are very rare beyond the 2nd trimester.
