How many abortions are result of mother's health?

Are there any concrete figures available detailing the percentage of performed abortions which are due to life risk of mother? This is the most common argument I hear from the "pro choicers" as their gotcha question, and I am curious what the actual number is. It's funny, because it appears to be nothing more than a distraction from the real issue of them wanting to allow moms to be the ability to kill a living being for the purpose of selfish desires; however, they hide behind this "health of mother" issue.
So, what's the percentage both overall and for late term abortions?

Article with citations
eta: It says 1% but the figure says 3% for health of the mother, so idk.

Are there rare cases when abortion is necessary to save the life of the mother? Yes. As mentioned above, these rare cases occur less than 1% of the time. In fact, even if you lump in all NON life threatening health issues that are cited by mothers as a reason for abortion then the total number only increases to 2.8%. [4]

I was thinking of this the other day. The left uses mother's health, rape, and fetal deformities as a rally cry but they have to be in the >5% category. The vast majority have got to be "I just don't want a baby" abortions.

The time that would be to protect the life of the mother would likely be an ectopic pregnancy and that would be terminated prior to 12 weeks. That's a legit reason.
If the embryo implants in the Fallopian tube, then that could rupture as the baby grows and cause the death of both mother and child. The choice is not one of the mother's comfort over the baby's life, the choice is then to save the mother do you sacrifice the child or do you not do anything and risk both lives. It's a different thought process altogether.

Irrelevant imo. If you don't agree with abortion don't have one.
Posted on 2/1/17 at 12:17 pm to Midget Death Squad
I'm going to guess less than 1%.

so small it's basically irrelevant. Liberals love to make a huge mess over something that basically isn't a thing

If the mother's health is dependent on not going through birth then partial-birth abortion is never for the health of the mother because 90% of the baby comes out before the procedure is terminated.
Bill Clinton vetoed a bill by Congress to ban late term abortion because the bill specified the exemption as 'physical health.' He wanted 'psychological health.' IE, the baby coming out alive would make mommy mad therefore injuring her psychological health.

about 95% of abortions are for convenience, after the fact birth control

Very few.
Abortion for the life of a mother - actual risk is sad but justifiable. I would guess there are many of these that would be the result of a non viable pregnancy (ectopic).
I wish I didn't care about abortion. It would make it easier because I wouldn't have to think about it or argue over it.
I just can't get past the idea that abortion ends a hum life. I don't think I could ever change my mind on that.
Over the weekend I was contacted by a woman who turned out to be my half sister. We have never met and though as a teen I heard rumors I had no idea if they were true or not. The only family members who would have known have passed away (including my biological father).
Her biological mother decided to put her up for adoption because she recognized her inability to adequately care for her.
She ended up with amazing parents who raised her well and she is now a beautiful and accomplished young woman.
Y'all just can't imagine (unless you've experienced similar) how amazing it feels to connect with a sibling you never knew you had. This further enforces my belief that choosing life is always a better option (when at all possible- mothers life excluded,obviously)

Between 2-5%, depending on the source and what they list under "health of the mother".

It is extremely rare that an abortion is needed to save the life of the mother. If the mother's life is in danger, delivery is almost always the best solution. Then the medical staff can attempt to save the child's life but of course, it may occur that the child cannot survive. This is not a willful act to end the baby's life. This is not abortion.
