Esq, this is one instance where I disagree with you and find myself agreeing with Aractus.
Abortion should only be allowed up until the fetus can survive on its own... Of course, there's no clear cut border, so legislators must impose one and they use medical consensus on the average gestation period that provides a viable (even if very premature) infant.
I personally, would go further and place a limit on ~15~20 weeks when the nervous system of the fetus is developed and the abortion would cause it suffering, before death.
20 weeks (provided the first 4 may come without the woman being aware of it) are more than enough time for the woman to decide what to do and take appropriate measures...
