Let it be legal, if only so we don't end up criminalising women who make the choice.
Pragmatic, not the ideal solution (if there is any), but acceptable. I tend to agree.

I just remind that there is the option to make it /leave it legal and always possible for the mother to give her kid away for adoptions, unhindered and undiscriminated. That still leaves the mother with nine months - but then: no need to abort. And she might change her mind in that time, and after birth. I would always mention this option, and encourage and support to chose for it. But legal pressure not to abort I must refuse.
