Pro-choice author: 2nd & 3rd trimester abortions are “overwhelmingly” done for reasons other than health

From pro-choice author Sarah Erdreich:

“While 88% of abortions are performed within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, women who have abortions later in their pregnancies overwhelmingly cite a delay in making the necessary arrangements, including raising money and getting an appointment as the reasons for having 2^nd or 3^rd trimester procedures.”

This means that babies aborted in the 2nd and 3rd trimester are “overwhelmingly” aborted because their mothers had difficulty making arrangements to kill them. These women, therefore, are not suffering from serious health problems. Rather, 2nd and 3rd trimester abortions are done “overwhelmingly” on healthy mothers with healthy children. Below you can see the hand of a baby aborted at 28 weeks. Is it acceptable for a woman to have an abortion this late because she was unable to arrange an abortion earlier?

Incidentally, price is often cited as a major reason why women have late abortions. Women have a hard time coming up with the money to pay for the procedure, which can be very expensive and which gets more expensive as each week goes by. Perhaps if abortion clinics are so dedicated to women having access to abortion, they could lower their prices and take slightly smaller profits. Pretty unlikely though.
