Long Term Laziness

Often abbreviated to simply “LTL” this majestic phrase is to explain oneself for doing something that is short term work for the eventual greater good of being lazy. For example one might be standing in a situation that calls for sitting. If one is doing this it’s quite clear that this genius is a lazy acumen for spotting that he’s going to arise very soon so he might as well remain standing as to not have to deal with the aggravating work of getting up. The term was first originated in 2008 by Vince Wilfork who was once told to take a knee but didn’t because “LTL”
Sammy: Yo why you standing bro?
Noah: Bro LTL you know you’re just going to have to stand right back up again
Sammy: That’s facts bro but what does LTL mean?
Noah: Long Term Laziness
Sammy: Aight Bet!

late term abortion

“Late-term” actually short for “late termination” meaning stopping a pregnancy after 20 weeks and usually before 24 week. Normally, they are only done because the mother is sick or the baby is so deformed it won’t live. With a sick mom, after 24 weeks they would normal induce labor and once born the baby would be in the care of neonatal intensive care unit to help it survive.

Only nine states and the District of Columbia allow abortions after 24 weeks without restrictions. And those are very very rare (0.3%) because these abortions costs $15,000 or more in cash.

The general public, including our political leaders, confuse the abbreviation “term.” with “term” meaning a fixed or limited period for which something last (37 -42 weeks in regards to pregnancy). Two very very different meanings.

Actually, “late term abortion” is redundant, because termination is the medical word for elective abortion. It should either be late term. Or late abortion.

The only “abortion” of an unwanted pregnancy at 37-42 weeks of pregnancy is actually inducing labor, normal birth of a live baby, and adoption to new parents.
