Almost all late term abortion is due to either an urgent threat to the mother's health, like an infection or severe preenclampsia, or a severe fetal deformity that will result in the fetus not being able to live more than a week or so outside the womb.

Healthy women don't abort healthy fetuses in the third trimester.  All states have some sort of allowance for the mother's life, and when it's severe deformity, there is time for the mother to cross state lines if she wants to.  So even though there are a small number of cases to begin with, these restrictions end up having very little effect, even on the small number of cases.

It's not an straight line of "the later the abortion, the bigger of a monster you are".

The way that we talk about abortion, whether we think it is a woman's right or not, needs to get with the times.

Real talk. There is nothing that killing a baby in the late third trimester for the health of the mother that delivering the baby won’t also fix. The mom will have to deliver the baby either way cuz they don’t just disappear in utero, so birth is happening one way or the other. Killing the baby doesn’t change that. 
Now severe deformities is a different issue.
