the new trend is toward private practitioners who perform abortions as part of their practice.

Excellent point.

Indeed, I think this is part of the reason abortions are now including in general training (as highlighted recently in New York). It may not be the woman's own OBGyn but certainly one of the physicians within the physician practice might perform the abortions.

I don't think the current trend of suing OBGyns for failure to detect an imperfect and therefore justifiably "abortable" baby bodes well either. If malpractice insurers are paying out for such cases, the precedent has been established that it's just "Good Business" not only to detect imperfect children but ensure they are aborted timely without risking the woman's health.

Also, there's the "chemical abortions" that can be performed up until nine weeks or so, (not the "morning after pill") that just involve taking some pills. It could be more women are having those instead of going to an abortion mill. Would be almost impossible to keep track of.
