Dr Susan Robinson, a former colleague of George Tiller who still performs late term abortions, discusses the women who come in for late second trimester and third trimester abortions:
“Women whose fetuses have terrible abnormalities are a lot easier for people to understand. The husband and wife want to spare their baby whatever suffering that baby would have.
‘Then there’s the group of women who didn’t know they were pregnant,’ she said. ‘They were told they were not pregnant for one reason or another and they are just as desperate.’”

Thus we see that these late term abortions are not always done because of health problems in the baby, but are also done on healthy mothers with healthy babies who “didn’t’ know they were pregnant” until the third trimester.
