My story
I was an adopted child, as my birth mother was a minor when I was born. I am glad I was born, and I know I would have been a good candidate for an abortion, but I still support the right to abortion at any time.
--spring
Always Legal
Abortion should be legal on demand.
--spring
Proposal
Abortion in the event of rape, incest, or complications (current or likely) should be allowed at any point during the pregnancy, up until actual birth. Abortion for other reasons can continue at least until the last two months of the pregnancy, if not further.

Available anytime
Abortion should be legal at any time before birth.
--spring
Observation
Unfortunately, this is not the medical or legal definition of abortion, althought there are many variations. Medically, miscarriages are also considered "abortions."
