Is that why people are aborting at seven months? There isn't much research on it, but Ive seen stuff range from issues the baby was having during gestation, not being able to access abortions earlier in the pregnancy (cost, logistics, state laws, etc), or life-threatening situations for the women carrying the child.
And its a small number of cases. I am not sure how often it is "I have been pregnant for seven months, but I have finally decided I do not want this kid." And even on the chances that is the case, and?
right, and those babies who can't sustain themselves outside of the womb may have to be put to rest as well. Maybe the family cannot afford the healthcare costs that will nurse that child to good health. Maybe that family can't afford the lifetime of healthcare costs that child will have because of this period. Maybe, its whatever. IDK. My point is that they aren't dissimilar but many people are more concerned with the baby during gestation than after they are out the womb.
That's fine, but infant mortality in the US is about 6 deaths per 1,000 births. That puts us in the company with Poland, Serbia, and Gilbratar. That's a fact.
