Oooh, I love this topic. I once witnessed an 11 year old girl brought in to the hospital by her mother, to abort her fathers child. Silly girl, couldn't handle the responsibility. 
Ill let the conversation get a little more in depth before I go too much further, but here's my take: IMO, abortion should be a legal MEDICAL option for any woman looking to terminate a pregnancy within the 1st trimester for any reason whatsoever, without being harassed, "counseled", and made to wait a certain period after "counseling".
Late term abortions should be (medically) reserved for abortions to save the mothers life, victims of rape and/or incest, or still birth babies in which the mother does not wish to continue the pregnancy.
Next time your judgement guides you to say "there's no reason to kill a baby" try to think about all the children born today, that are neglected, starved, abused and even killed because the parent is not capable of caring for them, or does not want them. Think of the physical, emotional, and mental pain they will endure. Now ask yourself at what age your very first memory was formed, and if it wasn't in the womb....well, I think you can figure the rest out.
