I would say yes, to an extent. For instance, if we get to the point that we can know that the fetus can experience pain during the procedure after a certain point of development, should that not raise at least some ethical questions?
Please define fetal "pain" and "experience".
If the central nervous system is developed enough for it to be noticed and potentially traumatic.

What does the least harm?
In my mind it is letting a woman have access to proper provision if she wants an abortion. If that isn't allowed it does not stop abortions, it stops safe abortions.
And you get a vast swathe of unwanted children dumped on the nation to be cared for by the state, which can end up in a hard knock life, for them.
Right, I understand and to a point agree. And I'm not saying we should do that.
