"A healthcare practitioner may perform an abortion when the patient is within 24 weeks from the commencement of pregnancy, there is an absence of fetal viability or the abortion is necessary to protect the patient's life of health." By using vague or broad terms like: Health -- The US Supreme Court legal definition includes physical, emotional, familial (genetic, hereditary), and the women's age and Viability -- There is no legal definition. The lack of definition allows the abortionist to determine that the fetus is not viable according to their prejudices. As the law is written with above vague terms the abortionist can legally determine to terminate a child up to the time they are born. This increases greatly the risk of the mother due to multiple types of complications leading to hospitalization, stated Dr. Curtis Boyd, late term abortionist.

Abortion/Murder of an Unborn Child is no longer punishable

NY removed abortion from its Penal Code (Penal Code Section 125.40, 125.45, 125.50, 125.55, and 126.60). No one can be held criminally liable for aborting a fetus, even after the 24th week of pregnancy.
The unborn child is no longer considered a victim of homicide if he or she dies while in the womb during the attack. The mother receives no justice for the murder of the child.
