All viable third trimester pregnancies (that is, foetuses who do not have abnormalities that make them nonviable) are capable of surviving, as you say, without their mother’s organs. At least, nowadays they are. This means that technically there is no such thing as a ‘medically necessary’ third trimester abortion.

I believe you mean “no such thing as a ‘medically necessary’ third trimester abortion’ with a normal healthy child.

Because obviously third trimester abortions could be quite medically necessary if upon closer inspection it turns out that the child might do serious damage to the mother in the process of giving birth.
