You quoted demographic characteristics, not reasons.
Single parent = a demographic characteristic, not a reason.
Drug addict = demographic characteristic, not a reason
Young = a demographic characteristic, not a reason
Nulliparous = a demographic characteristic, not a reason
Canโt afford another child = a reason
Afraid abusive partner is going to kill you if they find out youโre pregnant = a reason
Donโt want to have your rapistโs baby = a reason
Mother diagnosed with cancer = a reason
Fetus is missing half of its head = a reason
โHad access problemsโ however is a reason for not terminating the pregnancy
earlier. That appears to be what theyโre addressing.
Third trimester (what weโre talking about - please try and to focus) is even a smaller part of that percentage and performed for medical reasons. Life or health of the mother, fetal abnormalities... those are the legal requirements, with some variation state to state. Do a little more reading on the site you quoted.
The N.Y. bill is not unconditional - it imposes those same restrictions. So your erroneous belief that women will waltz in and demand a 3rd trimester abortion is just your twisted fantasy.
What it doesnโt impose is a time limit, which is already the case in several other states. A time limit makes no sense under those conditions. Motherโs life can be saved if sheโs 24 weeks pregnant, but if sheโs 27 or 28 weeks, โsorry lady, canโt help ya - buh byeโ?
This woman found out about a fatal fetal issue earlier, but this is what the women who have to terminate 3rd trimester go through. Read it and get a little compassion:

For the earlier abortions done for non medical reasons, back to what I said. Unless BOTH partners want and can afford a baby, donโt risk making a baby. Voila - no unwanted pregnancies! Preach it to your sons, grandsons, guy friends...
