No, I am only in favour of abortion if it affects the health of the
mother or if the mother wants one in the first two trimesters. Obviously
when you get too close to birth, an abortion is too late.

But the abortion debate is tied very closely to the contraception
debate, and inversely to the capital punishment debate. The more a
person is in favour of forcing unwanted children to be born, the more
that person is usually in favour of executing criminals.
