In the US we call it murder when one takes the life of another. Semantics about the stage of development are meaningless. It's not a woman using her body how she chooses. It's a woman paying another person to take the life of another human who has no choice in the matter, completely stripped of its bodily autonomy.

Before I say what I'm about to say, I'm against abortion except in cases of rape, incest, and mother's health...now.
I've been party to 2 abortions at my insistence with 2 ex wives. In hindsight 30 years later I realize that although my life would probably be different if I had 5 vs 3 kids and at an early age.
I apologized to my first ex before she passed last Oct (vax turbo cancer) and she understood but I could tell it still hurt her greatly after all these years.
I've never spoken about it to the mother of my kids (#2) but, I know she's told our (adult) kids, so I know it affected her as well.
Thankfully, no kids with wife #3 of 20 years.
I don't like hypocrites. I can't say I'd like 2 more kids in my life, but I do understand the sanctity of life. And I'm not "pro-choice".
Bravo that you admit your choice. I was never in that situation, but when I was young I didn't consider the issue that much. Now the evidence of how symbiotic the relationship is between the fetus and the mother is out there. Mother's have fetal cells from their children that try and preserve the mother's life. Probably where cravings for odd foods come from as well. Baby needs a certain vitamin or nutrient, and the mother has cravings for food that contain it.
I watched the Silent Scream documentary on YouTube a few decades ago. Its a 30 min. documentary that includes sonogram film footage of an abortion, and you can see that the fetus is afraid when the vacuum tube starts sucking the fluids out and tries to back away from it. Then the fetus is clearly in pain as it is literally ripped apart. The presenter doesn't say that he is the abortion Dr., but it seems obvious that he was. He states that the abortionist never did another abortion once he watched the film.
Everyone has a right to their opinion, and I don't support abortion under any circumstance. A life is a life...
