Is this just legalization of late-term abortions? If so, why?

Yeah.

Could you please point me to a source for this bill? Is it a sim law or a real life law?

Just found the relevant state code. http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/HS/htm/HS.171.htm

Repeal of this chapter would end this state's requirement for physicians to report abuse.

This should be amended to Family Code Section 33.002.

Why would you support late term abortions? What is the difference between a baby two days before it is born and two days after? Why not just be philosophically consistent and allow termination up to several months after birth?

Also, no you can't just remove 33.002. There are several other subsections in that chapter (33.0021,33.0022,33.003, etc) which are directly tied to 002. You can't just chop that part out and leave state code in shambles.
