Well, after 21 weeks there is a chance that a fetus can be viable, so that means there are over 500 abortions where the fetus could survive. How many are for health reasons? I have no idea, and I doubt that data is available.
I'm also not sure what you mean with the medical community handling it. Are you saying a doctor has the right to refuse an abortion at 8-1/2 months if the baby is healthy, because that is not how I understand the actual law.
I didn't realize an abortion could be refused for any reason if the mother asked for it.
