    According to the CDC:

    more than 93.1% of abortions were performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation; a smaller number of abortions (5.8%) were performed at 14–20 weeks’ gestation, and even fewer (0.9%) were performed at ≥21 weeks’ gestation.

    1. So, 93.1% aren’t even fetuses yet, they are zygotes (which is a clump of cells)

    2. the other 6.9% are fetuses not babies.

    • A baby is a non-clinical term for an “infant” (def: a very young child under the age of 1 years old) that has bodily autonomy separate from the mother.

    So, to recap, abortion is not killing a baby
