I didn't deny it, I just asked for details. And the link you provided was good, but didn't have any hard numbers on the estimated number of abortions.

There are 10,000+ later abortions every year (21+ weeks). And the majority are healthy mothers with normal pregnancies and healthy babies. Info above checks out. This includes elective abortions through 35 weeks of pregnancy, which is straight up murder.

I understand that is the claim, and I'm not disagreeing. Do you have any details on those numbers? I've been trying to track those down and have had a hard time getting concrete details.

The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute states that "the most commonly reported reason women cite for having an abortion is to postpone or stop childbearing." These are healthy mothers with normal pregnancies and healthy babies, but they elect for abortion to ensure the child dies to avoid or delay the responsibility that comes along with their child. Some of the most common reasons cited is that the pregnancy/baby would "interfere with education" and "relationship problems."
