Women's rights groups support late-term abortion, despite public outcry

Women’s rights advocates are either silent or all in on aggressive new state abortion laws that in some cases allow termination of fetuses moments before birth, despite polls that show more than 80 percent of the public is against the practice.

Fox News contacted more than half a dozen women’s and abortion-rights groups in the wake of laws either passed or under consideration in New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and New Mexico that allow abortions even when a pregnant woman is dilated and on the brink of giving birth. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a pediatric physician by trade, appeared to characterize a proposal he supports as allowing termination of a baby after it had actually been delivered, a shocking remark that drew only silence from advocacy groups typically aligned with the pro-choice movement. Northam has said those comments are "mischaracterized." 

“We cannot overstate how important it is for all New Yorkers to have the ability to control their own bodies and determine their own destinies, ” Robin Chappelle Golston, state Planned Parenthood CEO, said in celebration of New York's new law. “As we continue to face challenges on the federal level, it is paramount that New York is the beacon and state model of what reproductive health care should be.”

The Reproductive Health Act calls abortion "one of the safest medical procedures performed in the United States."
