Do conservatives actually believe that millions of women have 3rd trimester abortions?

Do conservatives actually believe that millions of women have 3rd trimester abortions?
It's not uncommon for right wingers to post and picket with graphic photos of fully formed human babies, as if that's what an abortion is. It's shocking but it's not the truth at all... not even close.

Common sense alone ought to indicate that no normal woman would ever have a 3rd trimester abortion, with or without a law against it... unless, of course, there are serious complications that endanger the woman's life, it's a stillbirth, or something else like that.

Do these people just believe whatever they hear, without ever thinking whether it makes any sense or not? Or are they just knowingly misrepresenting what an abortion actually is, in an attempt to persuade others over to their side?

Common sense alone ought to tell you that women don't just abort a fully formed human baby, but I suppose I should post a source link the right wingers can't argue with. Even Fox News admits that 99.99% of all abortions happen in the first 2 trimesters. The 100 a year 3rd trimester abortions that actually do happen are probably mostly stillbirths, complications that threaten the mother's life, and similar situations.

@Welfare for all - I suppose you're right that a stillbirth might not be considered an abortion, however, the remaining 100 3rd trimester abortions a year are still probably related to complications that threaten the mother's life and other real medical reasons.
