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.

Exactly. I was simply pointing out that his practice was not limited to adult patients who faced medical difficulties due to their pregnancy. Nothing more.
