Late Term abortionist Dr. Richard Hausknecht describes the reasons women get late-term abortions:
“There are a large number of second trimester terminations in this country and they are of two versions. There are the women who have seriously abnormal pregnancies, and then the larger group, who are usually young or indigent.”
The author of the article says:
“Among these women [who have late term abortions], doctors say, are teen-agers who deny their pregnancies, drug users and women who are menopausal or irregular in their periods.”
