    There has been an increase with the problem of late term abortion. Especially with the recent presidential election/debates of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The woman chose to do what she did, so she should either keep the baby, or give the baby up for adoption. Late Term Abortions should be banned because they lead to the possibilities of health problems, the baby is viable of living outside of the womb at this point, and it is violently and painfully dismembering the child.
