I don't know about other pro-choicers, but for me the really late-term stuff is a whole different thing. From what I know, these abortions make up a very small precentage of all abortions- they are rare- and they are only done in cases of medical necessity nowadays. I don't think that any pregnant lady who changes her mind that late in the game can just get one.

So for the sake of arguing about whether abortion is right or wrong (or should be legal/illegal) I think it makes more sense to talk about the type of abortions that make up the vast majority of the procedures done today- the 1st-trimester ones.

I also think it's a legitimate position to say that early abortions for whatever reason should be kept legal, but late abortions when the fetus could arguably survive outside the womb should be restricted to special cases (mainly medical necessity). What I mean to say by this is that plenty of people who call themselves pro-choice would not be in favor of allowing the really gruesome late-term abortions for elective reasons.
