We reviewed 86 third-trimester induced abortions reported to the Georgia Department of Human Resources in 1979 and 1980. Only three of the 78 with adequate data were classified correctly. Fetal deaths in utero accounted for 67.4 per cent of reported cases and first- or second-trimester abortions 18.6 per cent. The true rate of induced abortions performed in the third trimester was 4.3 per 100,000 legal abortions. Diagnosed anencephaly accounted for two out of the three valid third-trimester induced abortions performed
