None of the above.

I was reading all the replies and finally came upon the one that answers the above question. Your own answer is perfect:

"Are you forgetting that liberals, progressives and, more importantly CENTRISTS make up more of this country?"

You can't make an assumption on those abortions statistics.

Firstly, I'll have to do some research but the last time I read up on it, first-trimester abortions consisted of something over 90% of all abortions. Mind you, this was during the "debate" over a particularly nasty-sounding form of third-trimester abortion. I don't remember the number for 2nd trimester but I *do* remember that 3rd trimester abortions are almost always done sue to complications because the Supreme Court ruling DOES allow restrictions in that time frame.

What you can't know is how much RU-486 factors into those costs.

There are also a lot of regional differences. At one time, up here in NH, an abortion cost $250 but you had to be able to go to Concord NH - so getting there would have added to costs. But in other parts of the country, AT THAT TIME (1991) I'd heard average costs were in the range of $500 (usually more rural areas like the midwest or great plains).
