Roe v Wade can be overturned but not suddenly... it will take at least a decade if not longer and it will and should start at late-term abortions and hopefully stop there. Contraception is a delicate and important matter.

This is a good article on late-term abortions. The part with the statistic:

According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, an abortion-rights research group that conducts surveys of the nation's abortion doctors, about 15,000 abortions were performed in the year 2000 on women 20 weeks or more along in their pregnancies; the vast majority were between the 20th and 24th week. Of those, only about 2,200 D&X abortions were performed, or about 0.2 percent of the 1.3 million abortions believed to be performed that year.
