From famous abortionist Dr. Morgentaler:
“… When you’re not dogmatic, you have to take certain criteria into consideration.… One of which is viability. The other major criterion is the beginning of brain waves. Both occur at around 5 – 6 months. Most abortions are performed before 12 weeks of pregnancy – about 95%.”
Miriam Claire The Abortion Dilemma: Personal Views on a Public Issue (New York: Insight Books, 1995) 63
This abortionist is lying on two counts.
According to the CDC, here is a chart which shows when abortions are performed.
12% of abortions happen after the 12th week – more than double what the abortionist claims. This may seem like a minor exaggeration, but the difference is hundreds of thousands of abortions a year.
Brain waves have been detected in an unborn baby at only 6 weeks and 2 days. The vast majority of abortions, as you can see, take place after this time.
