FYI--Kansas law forbids aborting "viable" fetuses. Tiller only performed late term abortions where the fetus was not viable, or when it presented a grave threat to the health of the mother. I say this not because I have any knowledge of him but because I presume that a clinic operated in the open in Wichita would have to comply with Kansas law.

He may also have performed abortions for minors, but that is a separate issue from third-trimester abortions. If he ever performed a third-trimester abortion for a minor, presumably it met the test provided by Kansas law, which is that the fetus was non-viable, or the pregnancy threatened the life of the mother.
