Regardless of where you stand on murder, making it outright illegal or heavily regulated is not really a realistic option. It will still happen, it will just be unregulated, dangerous, etc., etc.

I don't want to be too blunt but this argument never made sense to me.

One of the reasons I think most people are skittish on blanket abortion bans is that the moral status of a ball of cells isn't settled. People treating chemical pregnancies like losing a born child is weird. The Bible says you are a person when you are conceived, but it's difficult to say what that refers to. When the fetus has organs? Yes definitely.

Personally I would counsel against abortions for any stage, but I find it hard to make a judgment on other people because of those questions.
