Four trimester abortions?

Are there really fourth trimester abortions? I have recently heard that there is a movement supporting fourth trimester abortions which means that you can have an abortion three months after the baby is born. (In other words, infanticide) There is also a video showing a guy trying to get people to sign a fourth trimester abortion petition. Is this really a thing because if it is it sounds pretty disturbing to have the ability to legally murder a child who is three months or less.

    It's not an abortion if the baby is already outside of the mother, so no, it's not real. And just FYI, the vast majority of elective abortions occur before 16 weeks gestation. That's less than halfway through the second trimester.

    No, this is a falsehood spread by evil pro-birthers who are trying to use it as proof that all abortion should be banned.

    There are only three trimesters of pregnancy. Thus, the "tri" part of the word "trimester."

    If anyone is claiming a fourth trimester, that person is just looking to have as many abortions take place as possible. That person has no regard for human life.

    The latest I've heard of abortions taking place is late term abortion / having part of the baby be delivered.

    But, a fourth trimester would be outside the womb. So, there is no fourth trimester.

    A trimester lasts three months, and there are only three trimesters, because pregnancy lasts nine months. Once the ninth month is completed, the baby is born. So, the time for trimesters is over.

    Once a baby is completely out of his mother's pvssy, it is no longer "abortion," and it is no longer legal to take the baby's life.
