Of course from what I recall there are are only two (used to be three but then Scott Roder came along) clinics in America where you can get late term abortions for the sake of the the health of the mother or because the fetus is no longer viable…

True, although dead fetuses are routinely aborted at any major hospital, regardless of how late in pregnancy the death occurs.

I’m not certain, but I’m fairly sure that third trimester abortions only account for less than 2% of all abortions. So the relative paucity of facilities performing such procedures has little impact on the availability of abortion overall.
