I'm pro-choice for a woman's whole pregnancy. Maybe for some period of time after a baby is born, you could put that baby "to sleep" without him or her fearing death, which is what in other people I empathize most with. However, I worry that if a society starts allowing babies outside the womb to be killed, that society will be tempted to keep raising the age at which humans gain protection from being killed until, say, five-year-old kids are allowed to be killed. The line between inside and outside a woman's body is at least a pretty clear line to draw.

Obviously it's best if we all do what we can to make sure a woman never gets pregnant in the first place unless she wants to be a parent, since an abortion is a somewhat significant medical procedure (though safer than giving birth, or so I've heard).
