Get rid of abortions. Make plan b, birth control, and condoms free.

No. Yes.

Look at that. We can agree half way.

Do you think there should be any limits on abortion?

No. For example, if a woman is in need of a late term abortion, it's probably because they found labor would pose a grave threat to her life, or the baby is going to be stillborn, or some other tragic reason.

The discussion is between a woman and her doctor. Leave the government out of it.

The fact is that medical reasons account for something like .01% of abortions.

Abortions is disgusting, and should not be allowed for use as a contraceptive.

Still greater than zero. And I doubt anyone who is "using it as a contraceptive" is getting a late term abortion; they would get it as soon as they found out

Why, because they don’t want to: https://www.hli.org/resources/why-women-abort/

When: https://www.liveaction.org/news/cdc-report-later-abortions-often-public-believe/

Way more abortions are performed later than you’d think.

That first link says 3.5%--way higher than your previous claim, and higher than I initially thought!
