Which is a shame because in a lot of cases those ~9% of abortions after the first trimester are due to medical emergencies, unviable fetuses or other unforeseen complications. And the other most common circumstance is someone who wanted to get an abortion but didn't have the financial resources or Healthcare availability to get the abortion in the first trimester. 

I'd be curious to see how low we could get that percentage following the first trimester if we increased access to abortions across the country. Because I am not sure there are many people who think they want a baby in the first trimester and then change their mind in the second trimester spontaneously (without any news of unviability or health risks to the mother).
