Aborting Wanted Pregnancies

Mark Kleiman takes issue with one of my posts on late-term abortions:

[T]he whole "safe, legal, and rare" formula offers nothing to women who are carrying fetuses which, if carried to term, would face short, agonizing lives, or women whose pregnancies will kill them if not terminated, or women whose fetuses die inside them. (Yes, doctors are afraid to do dilation and extraction the famous "partial-birth abortion" even when the fetus is already dead.) Making late-term abortion illegal condemns them to horrors no one should have to face, and I for one don't have much patience with those willing to impose those horrors on others in order to salve their own consciences.
