That is highly unlikely, as 90% of all abortions are performed in the first trimester of pregancy. Partial birth abortion, which is not even a medical term, is not for women who decide at 32 weeks that don't want to have a baby. It's used in rare cases where the mother may die due to having this child or the child will be born with a deformity like a brain growing on the outside of its head. To believe that women would be carelessly using this procedure to abort children is ridiculous.

I may be wrong, but I heard that late terms are anything after 2nd trimester (I believe). I also heard that the abortion is the most common surgery. And I heard that late terms make up 28% of the abortions. Don't ask for proof, it was heard on the radio... NPR I believe. That said, it would make them pretty darn often... ?????? Anyone know for sure???
