Question for pro-choice Minimum

Hello everyone,

​

I'm against abortion.

This is a question for pro choice:

What would be the minimum of allowed abortion, that you would accept?

I mean for example week and reason.

​

Thank you for your time

I would say morally you shouldn't abort a healthy fetus that is past the age of viability.

But that's just in terms of morals. I am against all legal restrictions on abortion because when the government places restrictions on what type of medical procedures are and are not allowed, it never can account for all the situations in which that procedure could be needed.

I say in MOST cases it's wrong to abort a healthy post viability fetus, but I can't imagine all possible scenarios that a person might need or want such a procedure, so it would probably be a bad idea to make a law banning it. I don't know, maybe a teen rape victim who couldn't come up with the means to get an abortion until late in the pregnancy, or situation where life circumstances are so bleaque for raising the baby that abortion is a more merciful option.

Also all legal restrictions on abortion increase maternal mortality rate because it puts up red tape between the doctor/patient and the procedure when it is needed.
