You sound like you believe that a majority of them are done during late term. According to a CDC report 88% of all abortions were obtained during the first weeks of gestations. Hardly what anyone would consider "viable". Only 1.5% of abortions were done past the 21 week mark. Also hardly what one could call "viable."
