I thought late term abortions were only allowed when it could be proved that carrying the unborn baby to term would be seriously hazardous to the mothers health...am I wrong?
they don't just allow them willy-nilly do they?

No abortion is allowed willy nilly, I believe the parent has to consider it carefully in every situation. But you are correct, late term abortions are only generally performed due to medical reasons. I would imagine no parent would have an unwanted pregnancy and not act on it before 6 months, it would be very unwise, and the complications would be severe.
