Did Ann Coulter have an abortion?

From Politics Daily, David Knowles:

Media personality Ann Coulter appeared on Bill O'Reilly's television program this week to discuss the murder of late-term abortion provider Dr. George Tiller. Never one to shy away from controversy, Coulter offered the following ethical assessment of the crime:

"I don't really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester."

When pressed by O'Reilly on this statement, Coulter replied,

Obama Care Will Spend Trillions to tell people what they already know: eat right, exercise and don't light up

Mr. Obama has found a woman to peddle: Laura. Obama likes to talk about Laura, a breast cancer survivor he met at a recent Town Hall Meeting; Laura is fighting a recurrence of the disease.
