Abortion laws vary greatly throughout the world.
One extreme is places such as the Vatican where it is basically no no never never kind of laws
UK and US have the opposite extreme. Can basically terminate a baby for any reason and at any point.

My opinion is abortion should be legal if the baby has not developed yet and it is first few weeks or so.
Once baby has developed at a certain point then abortion should be illegal apart from under special circumstances.
Those special circumstances should be only health risk and complications.

If doctor thinks that mother's health is at risk then he should determine whether the baby will survive without the mother. If baby would die then the doctor should abort the baby to save the life of the mother.
If pregnancy is at the stage where the baby could survive outside the womb, doctor should advise the mother of this and she makes the decision.
Save the life of her baby or abort the baby to save her own life.
Each woman would choose differently under these circumstances.
Some women would terminate, some would save their baby.
Health risk to mother is the only exception in my opinion.
Anything to do with economic reasons or baby disability is murder and no different than killing baby after birth.
