What's this?

People (well, men) just don't understand the point you just made.

1% or less of all abortions come in the third trimester, and those are virtually if not absolutely always because of serious, actually dire, health issues. That's the first point.

But it's not like even SECOND trimester abortions (week 13-26) are very common, because as you point out 91% happen in the first trimester (before week 13) and 2/3 in the first 8 weeks, barely halfway through the FIRST trimester.

That's your second point and it is almost never mentioned in these discussions.
