And you have a credible source for "unreported" abortions?  This
should be a winner.  :^)

I can go to actual sources.  Since you asked, 52% of the abortions
take place in 8 weeks or less; 25% take place between 9-10 weeks; 12%
between 11-12 weeks; 6% between 13-15 weeks and 4% between 16-20 weeks.
 As you can see, the majority of abortions take place prior to the 9th
week.

Before I accept them, I need to see a credible cite.  Something other
than you.  Nothing personal but, those are the cold, hard facts.
