The dems want to keep it a law to be free

Nope, corroborate the claim or go FY.

Even to sell its tissues ^ parts.

Fetal tissue research is life affirming

A May 2016 fact sheet published by Guttmacher did not include specific numbers about late-term abortions, but a chart indicated that only 1.3 percent of all abortions occurred after the 21-week mark:

We contacted a clinic that provides late-term abortions to ask about the circumstances under which such a procedure would be performed. They told us that terminations in the 36th week of pregnancy typically occur due to fetal incompatibility with life (that is, the fetus would not survive to term) that was somehow not diagnosed until late into the pregnancy.

In 2010, 2011, and 2012 (the most recent years for which statistics were available), the Centers for Disease Control recorded 765,651 abortions, 730,322 abortions, and 699,202 abortions respectively. A three-year average of those numbers was 731,725. 1.3 percent of that average worked out to roughly 9,512 abortions at or after the 21-week mark per year.

According to Guttmacher, 43 states expressly prohibit abortion either after the fetus was viable or at a specific numerical point in the pregnancy [PDF]. The "#Boycott36" claim did not mention the fact that abortions were already illegal at or past the 20-week point in all but seven states and the District of Columbia.

Both Sanders and Clinton list their positions on the issues on their campaign web sites. Clinton's position can be found on the "Women's rights and opportunity" section of her site, and it does not mention raising gestational age limits for abortion:


Women’s personal health decisions should be made by a woman, her family, and her faith, with the counsel of her doctor. Hillary will stand up to Republican attempts to defund Planned Parenthood, which would restrict access to critical health care services, like cancer screenings, contraception, and safe, legal abortion.
