Just to be clear - the elil17's statement that "Similarly, the argument goes, you should have the legal right to have an abortion (or at least induce labor, if viability is possible) at any point during a pregnancy." is not the normal/typical pro-choice position (at least here in the US). In fact, that statement is so far from the normal/typical pro-choice position that I seriously wonder if elil17 is trying to troll us (it's possible they're not, and I can never know what they're really thinking, but if I was trying to divide a group of people using a hot-button issue here in 2022 the way I'd do it is to post something that's like 80% reasonable sounding and then ends with something that'll get "the other side" riled up).
It's worth pointing out that this isn't accurate either: "You can't ignore all pro life people and say abortions allowed up to birth". Wikipedia even says that here in the United States "The [Supreme] Court also held that the right to abortion is not absolute and must be balanced against the government's interests in protecting women's health and prenatal life" (from the 'Roe v. Wade' article) Wikipedia has two citations to support that. I can't decipher the citations myself - I think they might be court cases:
