abortion is the moral equivalent of self defence. as a rational individual, you have bodily autonomy. nobody can force you to use your body for something you don't want it to be used for. and so no one can force you to use your body to carry a child.

however, once there become viable options other than killing the fetus (e.g. birth through caesarian section), it becomes immoral to kill it.
