Didn't take long to go from supporting killing unborn babies to

They do. Massachusetts already had a provision for abortion up to gestation for a valid medical reason. Seeing as how this is Massachusetts (the abortion capital of America) that request was surely never denied, fudged paper work or not. Now a woman does not need a medical reason. She can just look at her welfare payments and decide she cannot afford to do her nails and hair AND afford to feed a kid. This is fucked up.
That is the Republican claim. Of course if it's true I would be against it.

Pretty odd for a pregnant woman to wait up till the last minute to have an abortion.

It is not a claim APL. It was a law. Now one made even easier for a woman to get an abortion. And I agree with your last sentence.
 
Let me be clear... Are you saying that the doctors will be forced to break the oath?
What oath?

“First, Do No Harm” Isn’t in the Oath​

The phrase most people associate with the Hippocratic Oath, “First, do no harm” (often quoted in Latin as “primum non nocere”), does not actually appear in it. Research into the phrase’s origins found that neither Hippocrates nor Galen wrote it. The earliest known appearance of the specific Latin expression paired with its English translation dates to 1860, attributed to the English physician Thomas Sydenham. It was commonly used in the late 1800s and early 1900s, transmitted mostly by word of mouth, and rarely appeared in print during that era. Despite its murky origins, the phrase became so closely linked to medical ethics that most people assume it’s the oath’s central line.

No one but you mentioned being "forced" to do anything. No doctor is required to perform late stage abortions and no one claimed that but they can do them and clearly there are doctors that will.
