anti-abortion laws or politicking are almost always functionally anti-woman but i really don't believe that there is anything intrinsically hard to understand about why some people hold legitimate pro-life beliefs
only in the third trimester

the spartans committed infanticide and sparta was the ideal society, imo

islamic law has a variety of opinions on it and most of them argue against abortion as a general rule, but there are perfectly valid opinions that hold that prior to ensoulment of the fetus (i.e. first trimester), abortion is permissible. abortion is widely considered acceptable (amongst scholars, mind you) when it threatens the woman's life or well-being, in cases of rape, deformities/mental retardation/etc.
so i don't want to ban third trimester abortions but it is somewhat easier to see why others oppose it.

yeah they do, just not always from self-administered abortions
