Well, 22,500 late term abortions annually isn't really a small number. I know 1.5% is a small number. But then again, that is how we have fun with numbers and statistics.

Decline in Chickenpox Deaths
The article Decline in Mortality Due to Varicella after Implementation of Varicella Vaccination in the United States. Nguyen HQ, Jumaan AO, and Seward JF. New England Journal of Medicine, 2005;352(5):450-458.
The question What has been the effect of vaccination against chickenpox on the number of deaths due to chickenpox in the United States?
The study Researchers analyzed data on deaths in the US due to chickenpox from the National Center for Health Statistics Multiple Cause of Death Mortality Data for 1990 through 2001. The study also examined whether the chickenpox infection was the cause of death or contributed to the cause of death—for example, the cause of death was because of a bacterial infection of chickenpox lesions.
The number of deaths due to chickenpox was also calculated according to age, sex, race, ethnic background and birthplace. Preexisting conditions that increased the likelihood of severe chickenpox infection, complications of the disease and seasonal trends were also examined in this study.
The findings This study found that from 1990 through 2001, 1,465 death records listed chickenpox as the cause or a contributing cause of death. Chickenpox-related deaths averaged 145 per year from 1990 through 1994 (before the vaccine was licensed) and declined to 66 per year from 1999 through 2001 (when the vaccine was being used).
The decline in deaths due to chickenpox was noted in all age groups less than 50 years of age, but especially in children 1 to 4 years of age. Additionally, since vaccine introduction, racial and ethnic disparities in chickenpox mortality disappeared.
The relevance/bottom line The decline in the number of deaths due to chickenpox has coincided with the increased use of chickenpox vaccine in the United States.
NNii’s comment Universal childhood immunization with chickenpox vaccine was recommended in 1995, but the proportion of children who had received varicella vaccine was estimated by CDC to be only 26% in 1997 rising to 76% in 2001. As a consequence, the reported decline in chickenpox mortality occurred despite low immunization levels in much of the study time period.
those abortion numbers aren't bad.....just look at the chicken pox death numbers before vaccinations.....OH MY!!!!

I don't have the statistics and they probably aren't even possible, but... Preg women injured in car accidents, women who've had heart attacks, women exposed to toxic chemical spills, sudden illnesses like spinal meningitis, fetal death near term... I'm sure that many of the 1.5% are for necessary reasons... but there is no way to know an accurate number.

Then how are you sure of it? I'm sure a large percentage of the apporximately 22,500 abortions performed after 21 weeks are performed for the purpose of birth control.. but there is no way to know an accurate number. I just thought I'd throw that out there.

As I posted, I have no idea about what the numbers are but I do know that these conditions exist... " Preg women injured in car accidents, women who've had heart attacks, women exposed to toxic chemical spills, sudden illnesses like spinal meningitis, fetal death near term..." and a number of them would likely end in an aborted late term fetus. As to how many, would only be a guess.
