There are a lot of things I think are morally wrong but should not be illegal. Like prostitution, recreational drug use, suicide for cancer patients, etc. I don't find those things moral one bit but I think they should be legal because people can do what they want with their own lives.
Abortion is different because there is a victim involved. It isn't just something you do to yourself, but rather, you are taking away the right of someone else. In this case, you are taking away the unborn human's right to life. I do believe their right to life should be protected under the law. Unless in cases where the mother would die, then it becomes a medical issue up for the family and the doctors to deal with.
Except your not protecting its right to life, your granting a fetus the right to use someone else's body to sustain it's life, that is a right that no human has. So if you wanted to look at it from a legal standpoint, abortion should be legal.
