An abortion textbook gives statistics on late term D&E abortions:
“At least 125,000 D&E’s are performed annually in the United States, the highest number reported anywhere in the world. This number reflects in part the larger US population compared to that of other countries reporting data as well as a higher rate of abortion overall and of second trimester abortion in particular.”
