LETTER: Anti-abortion rhetoric based on lies

Updated June 5, 2019 - 9:53 pm

Third-trimester abortions are extremely rare and done only when the mother’s life is in jeopardy or the fetus would likely die before or shortly after birth. All live births receive care. If the newborn has severe abnormalities, the parents can decide whether the dying baby should be resuscitated.

Mr. Trump’s statement that the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will “execute the baby” is a lie.
