I suspect that a high percentage of abortions are primarily the "choice" of the parents or the boyfriend, not the pregnant mother.

Mary Matlin had a talk show several years ago. Once her show was about late term abortions and her guest was a nurse who did some work in an abortion clinic and had testified to the Senate.

She said pretty much all the third term abortions were kids whoses parents finally noticed they were pregnant.(Sad, but I've actually seen it happen)

I've read that abortion clinics are not required to submit data on morbidity and mortality like a hospital have to. Can anyone back this up? There was a Finland study (the results were not pretty), but what about this country?

Depends upon the state. CDC in Atlanta keeps some stats but reporting to them is voluntary. NY, CA, and FL for example don't report to CDC but have huge numbers of abortions.
