Hot take: I'm for abortion because most people that seek it shouldn't reproduce in the first place and the chance that the kid will grow up to be anything but a stain on society is basically 0. It's self imposed eugenics. Removing the option won't magically make her reconsider her sex life because that would assume that, intrinsically, she already had the common sense to make the right call. She doesn't... in other words, banning abortion just creates more defects in society. It's only the right thing to do when most of society is already high value but God knows we're not anywhere close to that. And if we were, you wouldn't need a ban because no one would seek it.
From a practical standpoint I could see legalizing abortion if it also required sterilization to eliminate the cases where women just use abortion as a form of birth control, but I have no idea how common those cases are (though I suspect they are much more common than the "rape and incest" cases the left loves to tout.)
Quick google says that about 40% of abortions are performed on someone that had an abortion before. Meanwhile, rape related pregnancy are about 0.5% and only half of the victims get an abortion. I don't feel like doing the math but in all likelihood, you are correct. Also, as you'd probably guess, the AI picture of the op is representative to the extent that the average abortion seeker is a college educated 20 something single indepted leftist woman.
