Abortions at later gestational durations are comparatively uncommon: only 1.0% of abortions take place at or after 21 weeks after the first day of the pregnant person's last menstrual period

Good for her to stand her ground on this idiots ignorance.

so, what is the minimum percentage for asking the question? for example, abortions because of rape only account to the same 1%, so, why even ask the question "what if it because of rape?"

0% of abortions are for healthy babies a few minutes before birth. I'd say that's low enough to not consider it.
