[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If half of abortions occurring in the second trimester, after 20 weeks, are the result of not  having the funds to get an abortion, then you definitely aren’t paying for a 20,000 plus procedure in the third trimester.[/quote]

This is the real issue.  People are getting abortions late for reasons OTHER than birth defects or health of mother.  [/quote]

OP again.  This is the claim I’d like to fact-check.

How many third-trimester terminations are for reasons OTHER THAN birth defects or physical health of the mother?

No has answered that yet.[/quote]

DP I think the simple answer to your question is that nobody knows because nobody is keeping track of this data. [/quote]

The other simple answer, which almost always gets lost in the debate is demanding this answer means you don't trust women to make the best decisions for themselves and their families. It's a fundamental mistrust of women, their motives, and their decision making abilities. It's a really deep rooted bias that's so accepted that we rarely talk about it.[/quote]
+1

And OP I’ll play along and try to assume you are asking in good faith. There are women out there who have shared their stories about why they have had a later abortion; find them. Read them. [/quote]
