Yeah I screwed my numbers by comparing to Alberta’s broth rate. My comparison though was to the number of live births. In Canada you get 385,000 live births so 621 being abortions is about .16% of live births.

So if you have a still birth rate of 1% it doesn’t seem unreasonable to have a medically necessary abortion rate of .16%. So the number of abortions of convenience here are likely a very low %
