And late term abortions is a phony scare issue meant to disgust people. I've never even heard of it happening though I'm sure it has a few times.

Estimates of partial birth abortions range from 600 to 15000 a year. Thats a pretty wide range but since you can talk about different years and define "partial birth" slightly differently, and the data is relatively thin, its not a total shock to have a wide range of estimates. And since this is only one form of late term abortion I'd say you could probably change that range to 1000 to 25k+ (maybe more depending on how exactly you define late term). Not exactly the most common time in a pregnancy for abortions but not a phony issue either. Actually even if it was one it wouldn't be a phony issue, but with at least thousands and just maybe tens of thousands it is even less so.
