Late termination of pregnancy (also referred to as late-term abortion)[2] describes the termination of pregnancy by induced abortion during a late stage of gestation.
"Late", in this context, is not precisely defined, and different medical publications use varying gestational age thresholds.
In 2015 in the United States, about 1.3% of abortions took place after the 21st week,[4] and less than 1% occur after 24 weeks.
Reasons for late terminations of pregnancy include when a pregnant woman's health is at risk or when lethal fetal abnormalities have been detected.
These anomalies may include anencephaly or limb-body wall complex where death occurs almost immediately after birth.
Later abortion is not associated with any negative physical or mental health outcomes, and the risk of death following a surgical abortion after 20 weeks is less than that of typical full-term childbirth in the United States
Late termination of pregnancy is more politically controversial than abortion in general. Most countries in Europe permit abortion in later stages of pregnancy if specific circumstances are present.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists states with respect to abortion that "politicians should never interfere in the patient-physician relationship".
