By your numbers 10% are done after the 12th week, that represents about 160,000 abortions annually, or 400+ a day.. I'd hardly call that an irrelevant number. That's about 5 times the number of people killed daily in car crashes, and over 3 times the death toll of Vietname annually.

Abortion is infantacide pure and simple, no amount of spin can change that fundamental fact.

First, I don't want to minimize the reality of abortion at all, but the facts is the facts, and spreading misinformation (or disinformation) just weakens the cause.

The actual number of abortions performed in 1999 - the last year for which I could find data - was just under 862,000. Ten percent of that would thus be a little over half (86,179) of your imputed number. This from the CDC:

Abortion Surveillance - US, 1999
