Regarding your suggestion “late term abortions cannot be performed.” Trump has said he will not sign any abortion ban (although I hope the next president will support a 15 week restriction). Also, some women do not fully discover that the baby has a likely fatal condition, or has a severe condition (like anencephaly) until after they have any time for an abortion. The headlines alone would create political problems for legislators. And most people do support exceptions for those things.
Here’s an alternative suggestion. Since Trump won’t sign a ban, how about simply banning the use of feticide & medical neglect against viable babies? For example, ban dismemberment, digoxin shots, intrauterine instillations & umbilical cord transections, and all other forms of violence, against unborn babies determined to be viable & likely to survive infancy. Mandate full medical treatment for viable babies born alive.
These alternate suggestions would accomplish four things: (1) it would dissuade a lot of women seeking late term elective abortions, (2) preserves the option for those who need to deliver for health reasons, (3) ensures the survival of more babies and (4) eliminates the common Democrat claim that an act to protect babies born alive would just cause suffering for families and nonviable babies more likely to die or suffer a severe physical condition.
