“Gallup poll discovered that only 11% of Americans have an accurate understanding that abortion is available throughout all nine months of pregnancy.”

Roe versus Wade said that abortion could not be banned in the first two trimesters, and could only be banned in the third trimester if there were exceptions for a woman’s health. But in tow versus Bolton, companion case to Roe V Wade, health was defined as the following:
Doe vs Bolton. The words of the Supreme court:
“…the medical judgment may be exercised in light of all factors- physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman’s age- relevant to the well-being of the patient. All these factors may relate to health. This allows the attending physician the room he needs to make his best medical judgment. And it is room that operates for the benefit, not the detriment, of the pregnant woman.”

This means that abortions are legal through the entire nine months of pregnancy.
