Late term abortions

New York changed their abortion law amid some misunderstanding. Some news outlets reported that abortions are now legal if the health of the mother is in jeopardy which is true but needs further context. Prior to this the law was that the abortion was legal only if the life of the mother was in danger. The question of whether the mother's life should take precedent over the child has long been contentious especially if the mother has other children. In the past women who wanted a late term abortion went doctor shopping just like people who want prescriptions filled. The doctor would say the mothers life was in danger and now they will say the mothers health is in danger. Of course anytime a woman gives birth there is a certain danger to her health and life. Doctor shopping happens on a regular basis just as judge shopping does.
