Not so, once again. I went with a friend once to get her EC at our undergrad's health center, and it was $72, and it required a pregnancy test.
That same friend later went on to get pregnant in an abusive situation. She also had existing health problems that would have made pregnancy harrowing, but perhaps not life threatening. Luckily, she had the foresight to go to the doctor early. Not all pregnancies are happy events. Sometimes things happen late into the pregnancy--such as the diagnosis of certain conditions--that change a once joyous event into a nightmare. All I'm asking is that there is a clause in any law banning late-term abortions that allows the procedure to protect the life and future fertility of the mother.
