SO this will be mostly for the pro-choice side, although I am putting some choices for the pro-life because you know that they will chime in regardless.
If you are prochoice, do you feel that abortion should be available on demand at any point, or only before the viability point of development? Why or why not?
Premises:
Viability point is obviously variable, so yes an arbitrary point would have to be decided, much like we use 18 as the arbitrary point of adulthood. That exact point is not important for the question.
The question is assuming that the mother's life is not in imminent danger nor is the fetus in danger of dying in womb or shortly after birth nor is deformed in any manner.
The mother has been aware of the pregnancy since at least 12 weeks (3 months), if not sooner.
