The data that I'm aware of suggest very few women choose to have very late-term abortions for arbitrary reasons. If I found out that very very few people were willing to commit any specific sort of crime, I wouldn't say "well, so few people are doing it, should it really even be illegal?"

That doesn't make having those very late-term abortions not wrong if we grant that child personhood. The argument I'm having is when we grant personhood to a being, and once we do, whether it is morally acceptable to kill something that we have granted personhood.
