(vice any medical reason, even temporary, for the US).
France - Abortions in the second and third trimesters are permitted only if two physicians certify that it is necessary to save the life of the mother, to prevent grave and permanent harm to her health, or the child has a severe and incurable illness.
UK - permits abortion for socio-economic reasons up to 24 weeks, but up to birth if “there is a substantial risk that if the child were born it would suffer from such physical or mental abnormalities as to be seriously handicapped.”
Netherlands - Abortions after 24 weeks are permitted in certain circumstances, such as when the unborn child has an untreatable “disorder” or is deemed likely to suffer after its birth.

Question - how many clinics does it country offer? More than 1 each I assume?
Asking because not only does Mississippi want to criminalize abortion after 15? weeks - IIRC they only have like one clinic in the state which I assume is packed 24/7 because 1 clinic for an entire state is nowhere near enough to serve the population.
You keep arguing about specifics or individual line-items but you're ignoring the big picture. The big picture is to restrict or fully criminalize all abortion so that woman are completely deterred from doing it.
