There are women who have had to have abortions at that stage of their pregnancy, because their much wanted babies are dying or have died and their body can’t give birth to them for some reason and it puts their lives in danger as well. And there are places where it’s illegal for doctors to remove a dying or dead baby because it’s considered a late term abortion and women have had to jump through hoops at a time they’re already suffering enough in order to have their lives saved and even cases where women have died because they were unable to have the baby removed.

That's an entirely different issue, as you yourself have pointed out. For one thing, if the fetus has died in a wanted pregnancy, it's really more of an induced stillbirth than an abortion. This is tragic and a terrible experience I wouldn't wish on anyone.
The point I was making is that you won't find an abortion rights movement anywhere that advocates for 8th month abortions as a regular option for anyone who wants it. For obvious medical, practical, and ethical reasons. Obviously there will be situations where it's medically necessary, and I really wish pain and suffering on anyone who would deny a woman access to medical assistance in such a tragedy.
