[quote=Anonymous][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]

OP again.  Thx.

Sadly, people littered this thread with political statements even after I said not to.  And while some information has been shared (thx again),  we still do not have facts, which makes debating this kinda pointless.

My guess is you are probably right: no one is keeping track of this data.

If so, there really is no reliable answer to my question: how many third-trimester terminations are purely elective.

Unless someone can post some actual data in answer to my question, there’s no longer much point to anyone posting (again: stop posting political responses! This is about ascertaining basic facts. That’s all).[/quote]

You are such a troll!!
The answer to your question is:
Vanishingly small.  My research indicates about 148 over a twelve year period, most for fetal abnormalities or health of the mother.  The remainder unreported, but believed the same.
