One of the greatest misconceptions about abortion is that "nearly born" fetuses are being aborted frequently. Here's the data: "The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 66 percent of legal abortions occur within the first eight weeks of gestation, and 92 percent are performed within the first 13 weeks. Only 1.2 percent occur at or after 21 weeks (CDC, 2013)." Of course, those who are rabidly opposed to abortion are fond of creating images of fully-formed, viable fetuses being aborted. That lie is a major portion of their propaganda. That notion just is NOT true.
