And why are they performed in the final trimester? Probably because the fetus has been discovered to be non- viable or there is a major complication threatening the mother's life ( infection, uncontrolled high blood pressure, etc). That's why we need exceptions for the health of the mother.

We already agree on issues regarding the health of the mother. But with 42,000+ abortions performed after the first trimester, we need to wonder about the motivations there. How many are medical versus cosmetic or for convenience. The mantra seems to be "for any reason or no reason" - which I can accept in the first trimester, but beyond that, no.

Then you would induce labor? Or perform a C section? Why an abortion when both can possibly be saved?
Perhaos the baby was found to have anomalies or was dying from the mother's illness also. During covid, many csections were performed
prematurely to save
the baby when the
mother was critically ill or dying of covid.
The majority of COVID-19-infected women who died had cesarean section (58.3%), 25% had a vaginal delivery, and 16.7% of patients were not full term.

Maybe someone should do a study.
