Excerpt:
“We can still take care of this for you.”
These were the words a young woman heard from her obstetrician as they looked at an ultrasound image of her baby at about seven months’ gestation. The baby already weighed more than five pounds.
The conversation took place in Maryland, where there are no limits on abortion and where Medicaid foots the bill. It’s not possible to know why a doctor would make such a suggestion to a woman so far along in her pregnancy, but the price tag for a third-trimester abortion can be $10,000 or more.
