I dont think most people actually read the article. These women performed an abortion at 28 weeks, abortion that late in the game has always been illegal in every state.

Why is 28 any different than 2? Tf does it matter?

Well at some point the fetus becomes a human and abortion becomes murder. There is a lot of debate where that line is.

In short: Fetuses are viable outside the womb by that point, and no US state has ever allowed abortions that late into pregnancy.
