- I wrote "3rd trimester (post-viability)" meaning that an abortion performed
- in the 3rd trimester is a post-viability abortion. 60 Minutes stated
- 3rd trimester and I added the comment "(post-viability)" for those that
- may not have realized that such abortions are post-viability abortions.
- I'm sorry if the addition created confusion.
-
- The main point of the 60 Minutes factoid, that only 3 doctors in the US
- perform 3rd trimester abortions, remains.

- All dogs are mammals, but not all mammals are dogs...
-
- All 3rd trimester abortions are post viablilty abortions...
