I don't think that any pregnant lady who changes her mind that late in the game can just get one.

If it's medically necessary, particularly if it's something that could not have been foreseen earlier in the pregnancy, that's a different matter. But theoretically, a woman could decide one day before she's due to give birth that she doesn't want the baby... that's the idea I don't like. (And you're right, most doctors would probably say what I'm saying - just have the kid, and put the kid up for adoption if you really don't want him/her.)
Late-term abortions are major surgery. If you're going to have an abortion, best to do it early.
