I don't think any abortion is a happy event. A woman might be happy about the final result, but it is not a happy process.

I don't know the statistics, but I think your 1% figure is about right and an important point. However, it is possible that a woman might be up in the air about the decision and finally decides to abort in the third trimester. Or perhaps some event happens like a beloved supportive husband suddenly dies and thrusts the family into homelessness and abject poverty.

Regardless, the decision should be lodged with the woman and her doctors.
