in the eighth and ninth months of pregnancy simply because they can. The right-wing rhetoric has been used to criticize abortion rights supporters and Democrats for years. Even Donald Trump — who up until recently consistently dodged the topic of abortion — has started repeating the myth.last month. Democrats can “have in the seventh, eighth, ninth month, and they can kill the baby,” he said in another interview, adding that in some states “they can kill the baby after the baby is born.” Sen.

“The idea that this is so rare, and that it’s only a certain percent of the abortions that are happening, that’s all well and good. But when it’s you and your pregnancy, it’s 100%,” Horvath told HuffPost. Horvath and Morgan Nuzzo, a certified nurse midwife, opened Partners in Abortion Care shortly after the Supreme Court repealed Roe v. Wade in the summer of 2022. The two met working at a Planned Parenthood clinic, but didn’t become close until Nuzzo was pregnant with her first child, and Horvath offered some hand-me-down baby clothes from her kids.

The majority of young people bring a trusted adult ― often a parent, aunt or sibling ― when they come to the clinic. Nuzzo recalled going through the intake process with a 12-year-old at a previous clinic she worked for in Washington, D.C.“I consented a 12-year-old, and I was very concerned about a 12-year-old’s ability to consent. The concern is always their ability to say the thing that they want and to understand the complexity of consenting to a medical procedure,” she said.

“Nobody thinks they’re ever going to need a later abortion and so it’s very easy to distance yourself, but then it happens to all of the people we see — all of those people didn’t think they were going to need to come see us and here they are,” Horvath said.“I would love for us to operate with empathy, for people to pause and think about what that would feel like to need a later abortion,” she added.
