I'm anti abortion once the fetus is viable. Prior to that point, a woman is refusing to let someone else use her body to survive, and while there are personal moral questions there, I think she should have the right to make that call. After that point, she's attempting to kill someone else to avoid the suffering that a birth would entail.
I still support her right to rid herself of an unwelcome guest, I just don't support abortion as the method.
I'm aware that late term abortions are so vanishingly rare that this is a pointless hair-splitting exercise, but I like to have a consistent moral system as much as I can, whether it's currently relevant or not, and I thought someone might appreciate my .02.
If you had been aborted once viable you wouldn't have neither cared or known.
If someone shoots me in the head while I'm sleeping I wouldn't care or know either.
