Partial birth abortions, or second tri-mester abortions are not performed because a parent decides that they cannot care for a child financially. That decision is limited to 1st trimester, elective abortion only. Likewise with mental retardation. For a second trimester abortion that fetus has to be found to have birth defects incompatible with life. In other words, even if the pregnancy is carried to term, the child would not survive.
