I'm not sure you read the article, as I quoted from the same article . From the article: Claims of abortions occurring “ moments before birth ” or even “ after birth ” are false. These scenarios do not occur, nor are they legal in the United States Abortions at or after 21 weeks are uncommon and represent 1% of all abortions in the U.S . The procedures are expensive and often require travel and lost wages. They normally require treatment over multiple days and are only performed by a subset of all abortion providers.Abortions occurring at or after 21 weeks gestational age are rare. They are often difficult to obtain, as they are only available in a handful of states, performed by a small subset of abortion providers and are typically costly and time-intensive. Yet, these abortions receive a disproportionate share of attention in the news, policy and the law. Discussions on this topic are often fraught with misinformation; for example, intense public discussions have been sparked after several presidential candidates claimed there were abortions occurring “ moments before birth ” or even “ after birth .” In reality, these scenarios do not occur, nor are they legal, in the United States. However, in states without abortion bans or gestational bans before 22 weeks LMP, access to abortions later in pregnancy is often limited for many reasons, including viability bans, bans on certain abortion procedures, and a limited number of abortion providers who are trained or willing to provide abortions later in pregnancy. While viability, the point when a fetus can survive outside the womb, is no longer the federal standard that defines the legality of abortion in the U.S., 16 states that still allow abortions currently have laws restricting abortion at “viability” or at 24 weeks LMP / 3 rd trimester, when viability is presumed to occur ( Figure 1 ). These states have abortion exemptions similar to the exemptions in abortion bans (such as to preserve the health or life of the pregnant person) and gestational limits , defining when an abortion is allowed to be performed after viability. Most of the 11 states that restrict abortions at “viability” define it as the point where a physician or other healthcare provider determines whether a fetus can survive outside the womb. Four of these states include language in their abortion policies defining viability as the point where there is a likelihood that the fetus could survive without the “application of extraordinary measures” and another three states have language clarifying the fetus could survive with or without extraordinary measures. do you see the (FIgure 1) above? That is your"picture" that you posted and I have included the verbiage that went with it. If you read the text and not just look at the "pictures", you will see that you are just restating lies that have been stated to inflame people for political gain.
