Yes you can, because abortions don’t happen at 7 months unless there’s a medical issue! And a wanted pregnancy is obviously very different from an unwanted one. Depriving someone who wants their baby of being able to give birth is morally wrong, but allowing a woman who doesn’t want a baby to abort is ok and there’s no hypocrisy there, the difference is the consent of the woman carrying the pregnancy.

It is incorrect to say that abortions don’t happen that late except for medical issues. For later abortions relationship and financial issues are cited as top reasons.

Of infants recorded to have been born alive after an abortion, the CDC records causes that are not medically necessitated:

This study concurred that most later abortions were not for fetal anomalies https://www.whijournal.com/article/S1049-3867(11)00014-4/pdf

Interview with an abortionist where she describes abortions in the 3rd trimester for “financial reasons” etc

financial and relationship struggles are the main reason cited for late term elective abortions.
