What I learned trying to classify abortion access across the rich world

They very clearly stated that after viability, induced delivery is the course. Just like Casey V. Planned Parenthood originally made viability the cutoff. At any point a woman should be allowed to rescind the right to their body from anyone or anything, a fetus included. Whether that means abortion or delivery depends on viability.

So your straw-man of a 32 week abortion isn't applicable at all.

"the issue of whether a fetus is a person is irrelevant"

It's not a straw man. It's a hypothetical test of his reasoning. He says viability doesn't matter to his argument, but throws out that induced birth could be an option. His argument is not that "abortion should be illegal at viability, but you should be able to induce birth". You are twisting his words.

I'm not twisting their words; you've simply lost the ability to comprehend text that pertains to abortion.

> Similarly, the argument goes, you should have the legal right to have an abortion (or at least induce labor, if viability is possible) at any point during a pregnancy.

What does "at least induce labor, if viability is possible" mean to you?

He says you should have a legal right to an abortion at any time during pregnancy...

Also I support abortion and I'm a social democrat FWIW.
