I'm in favour of abortion for medical reasons, but not as a form of contraception. There are many forms of contraception available, like condoms, IUDs, morning after pills and the woman measuring her cycle. You'd have to be very careless at this point in time to get pregnant by mistake.

Abortion should be allowed if the pregnancy could kill or permanently injure the mother, or if the baby could die no matter what, or be born without arms or eyes or other serious defects. I also support abortion in cases of rape, incest and underage pregnancies. But not as a form of contraception. Wear a condom and take the pill.
