That’s the thing though- abortion isn’t risky and it’s important to point out medically induced abortion is a safe procedure that can be done at home. The only time we enter risk is when folks aren’t informed of these options, and when the baby is so far along that the child is very likely wanted and the termination is in cases of tragedy. Frankly, I don’t think any of us get to pick and choose acceptable and unacceptable reasons to have a procedure on a body that isn’t one’s own. The problem with framing abortion as if the fetus is generally viable is that, generally, it isn’t viable. It’s actually normalized not to announce pregnancy until over 3 months in because spontaneous abortions are just that common. There’s no guarantee that any given pregnancy won’t result in an abortion anyways, and gatekeeping abortion will disproportionately harm everyone involved due to the intense trauma of having the choices of one’s body taken away from them for most of a year through no activity that is illegal or worthy of punishment.
