A Gateway Pundit reader recently came forward, sharing an alarming experience that underscores the controversial reality of late-term abortion access in the United States.
This reader, after viewing a video on Instagram of someone posing as 34 weeks pregnant and calling abortion clinics, decided to conduct her own investigation.
The result? A shocking discovery that some clinics were willing to perform abortions well into the third trimester.
“I saw a video on Instagram of a girl calling an abortion clinic pretending to be 34 weeks pregnant. I did the same thing—called a few clinics. The first clinic I contacted was willing to help me at 34 weeks!” the reader told The Gateway Pundit.
The individual, who chose to remain anonymous, called an abortion clinic in New York.
The conversation began with the anonymous caller explaining that she was 34 weeks pregnant and seeking an abortion. The clinic representative at ParkMed in New York City confirmed that the clinic doesn’t accept insurance to perform abortions past 34 weeks, but even so, they were willing to schedule a consultation for the anonymous caller.
The consultation fee alone was $425, with potential follow-up procedures.
When asked about financial assistance, the clinic representative quickly offered to provide the names of organizations that will help cover the cost of these procedures, demonstrating that there is a well-coordinated system of financial support for late-term abortions.
According to the ParkMed website:
