    Except the links both support the claim, one implicitly, the next explicitly.

    Oregon: The state passed a law in 2017 directly allowing access to abortions. In 2020, about 1.57% of abortions were performed at or after 21 weeks, according to the state’s latest figures.

    But late-term abortions are rare and usually for urgent medical reasons. Nationally, less than 1% of abortions are performed at or after 21 weeks of pregnancy, and they are roughly as rare in the states where there is no time prohibition on abortion.
    Near full term, contrary to what the ads suggest, abortions are not done, experts say.

    You're arguing against Oregon's own web-site? Ok. Anyway, we know that partial-birth/late-term abortions are rare so, again... OK.

    It appears you have an axe to grind.

    You are opposed to late term abortions that are done to save a woman's life? Otherwise what's the point of bringing these up? These aren't elective abortions and certainly not abortions after birth as Trump claimed.

    Other details matter too though. For example if prenatal tests aren't done soon enough it could be determined the fetus has undesirable disabilities. This throws a wild-card into the decision making. It's not a clear-cut problem. And, why I'm pretty firm on my position of "leave me out of it".

    Considering medical advances, partial-birth abortions are "after birth" in a sense. IOW, they can keep premature babies alive with some likelihood. There are many factors to consider.

    Anyway, read what I just posted above; I want to be left out of it... that means no tax-payer funding. The legality is a different story.

    We're going in circles now though because my initial explanation was written as a reply to you. Apparently, you still don't understand the reasoning.
