No. Abortion is NOT possible during much of the third trimester. ALL third trimester terminations are deliveries. And viability assumes "with medical intervention" whatever that happens to be. Let's not get sloppy with medical terms the way self-described "pro-lifers" do.
Spontaneous abortion as I learned it was the pre-viable, spontaneous loss of pregnancy. Since then, they have complicated it to refer to "up to the 20th week" and added a few sort of nonsensical in-between categories that are called deliveries, albeit non-viable deliveries.
Thus, NO, abortion isn't possible in the third trimester, unless you're using a dishonest definition of abortion that basically means "intra-uterine killing."
A dead third trimester fetus must STILL be delivered. That doesn't constitute abortion.

Because I have been reduced to my appearance — to the way I present for my own well-being — by cisfeminists so often that I feel a fucked up Stockholm syndrome attachment to being misgendered. My dysmorphia is as entwined in my identity as anything else. I have lived with it for decades as a girl pretending to be a boy. And the nearer I get to something I’ve wanted my whole life, the more it feels like playing into the aesthetic politics of a group of people who reject me because of the associations they have with my body—a body which I cannot, ultimately, change very much. These people who will only be comfortable when I dilute those associations with femme signifiers.

I doubt many people would view someone with a depressive disorder as being on the same track as Donald Trump's obvious NPD. Is she suggesting that pointing out Trump's balls-to-the-wall narcissism should be off the table, even though it's obviously the lens through which he sees the world?Donald Trump is not (that he has disclosed, anyway) "crazy." He is not insane, nuts, batshit, wacko, delusional, cuckoo, or any other euphemism for mentally ill.
He is a vile bigot.
The two are not, of course, mutually exclusive—but it is not axiomatic that anyone who holds the extremist views that Trump holds is mentally ill, and it is certainly not accurate that mental illness inexorably or exclusively causes a belief in extremist views.
You probably already know that, though, don't you? It's just something easy you say to demean him and marginalize him! What could be the harm in that, right? Or maybe it's something you say because you genuinely believe he's mentally ill, and, even though, yeah, sure, you totally get why even if he is, it isn't mental illness that's making him a nightmare monster, but what difference does it make to say he's "insane" instead of saying he's a bigot?
Well, funny you should ask.
Because demeaning and marginalizing people by implying they are mentally ill has the effect of demonizing people with mental illness, many of whom, myself included, do not share in common any political views with the likes of Donald Trump. The suggestion that mentally ill people are dangerous and unstable makes an already vulnerable population even more so, and creates a toxic environment in which people deemed "crazy" aren't considered reputable advocates for themselves and their needs, and wouldn't need to be listened to even if they were, because crazy don't get a place at the table.
Hey, here's a fun fact! Do you know one groups which has historically been marginalized with accusations of craziness? Women! And the fact that we have been dismissed as hysterics and lunatics for, literally, centuries is what makes it so easy for Trump and people just like him to still say we have no right to basic equality with a straight face in the public sphere and yet be considered viable candidates for the highest office in the most prominent democracy in the world!

Who knows what values are attached to variables such as marketing, theater cut, etc. But it would seem reasonable to assume GB needs to make at least 300 million just to break even.

Does that mean GB needs say 400m on 144m production?
http://variety.com/2016/film/box-office ... 201816038/The film carries a massive $144 million price tag, plus at least $100 million more in marketing costs. Insiders estimate that it will have to do at least $300 million globally to break even and substantially more than that to justify a sequel. To get there, the film will have to show some impressive endurance while fending off a crowded field of summer blockbuster hopefuls. It will also need to resonate with foreign crowds unfamiliar with the original 1984 comedy or its 1989 sequel.
I saw Feig say somewhere that they need at least 400-500 million to break even, but I think that was months ago and expectations have been lowered.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/j ... ng-weekendThe comedy horror, starring Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig, will need to impress international audiences to warrant its $144m budget. Analysts suggest that it will need to make around $300m globally to break even. After almost two years of online anger from fans over the choice to cast four women in the lead roles, the audience was 57% female – a high number for a blockbuster.
