The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's yearly study on abortion statistics does not calculate the exact gestational age for abortions performed past the 20th week. Therefor there aren't any precise data for the number of abortions performed after viability. In 1997 the Guttmacher Institute estimated the number of abortions in the U.S. past 24 weeks to be 0.08% which then was about 1,032 abortions performed to save the life of mother and child/year. There are overall less abortions performed today in 2012 but and we might be better and making a diagnosis but the number is probably about the same today, about 1000 women.

Abortions compared between George Bush's last term and Barack Obama's first term?

This is a difficult question to answer, because there is no one place to obtain information about the number of abortions performed in each state each year. If you are asking whether the number of abortions has gone up under President Obama, there is no evidence of this. Actually, based on nation-wide research, the number of abortions has been in decline for years, because many states have made it more difficult to get an abortion, and access to contraception has improved.
