100%. The mother has thought about the situation and realised this was the best action for her life.
Maybe she’s broke and can’t afford the cost of birthing. Or another mouth to feed and support. Maybe she’s not mentally ready for motherhood. Or will be kicked out of her current home. Maybe being pregnant will cost her her job.
Whatever reason, by getting an abortion the mother is taking the best action for her life.

What percentage of pro life people is wanting to shoot people on the border?
But to awnser your question: There is a so called HIPAA and it says that its none of your business what the exact reason for a medical procedures are, wich also means that any statistics you would find online are made up with estimates, from people that are not involved in the thing, as it would be illegal for them.

That isn’t true at all. HIPAA does not prevent the information from being used for research. It just protects the information from being tied back to an indentifable person.

I see. So you don’t have a position on whether or not most abortions are done to save the life of the mother?
