Terminating something that usually incomplete and/or unwanted.
In most cases, an abortion is terminating an unwanted pregnancy. Not because the mother wnats to kill the baby, but because she is not ready for a child, doesn't want a child, or some other reason.
Too many abortions have been carried out in back-alley clinics with unsafe methods and ignorant providers. Women have gotten terribly sick and died because of botched abortions.
A fetus has only been in the world for a few months while the mother has been in the world for years. Both would be missed should one of them die, but the mother would be leaving so much should she be lost.
Abortions, contrary to those who oppose it, actually does help children; it reduces the number of abused/neglected children; if the parents didn't want the baby and end up having it, they (the parents) would become frustrated by the fact that they had a child that they didn't intend to have, leading to neglect and abuse of the child. With abortion, the child won't have to endure the abuse.
Too many "oops" babies have been born and life made hard for the child and the parents; it's the contraceptive, abortion, or adoption.

Abortion must be accessible to all and be made safer so that women won't die or become sick from a botched or faulty abortion.

the act of taking out an embryo in a woman’s body before it can live outside of the womb. it’s the idea that women have the right to be in control of their own bodies. conservatives will say it is killing a human being, but it’s really a bunch of church sheep who strive for a real life recreation of the popular Hulu series “Handmaids Tale”
Since Martha lives in Alabama, she doesn’t have the authority to be in control of her own body, so even though Tyler raped her and got 5 years in prison, she can’t get an abortion because she’ll be in prison for 99 years.

Until a fetus is old enough to survive outside the body of its mother, it is not really a separate life and is little more than a parasite. Abortion is construed by some as murder, but is really such a tough decision that it ought to be left to the mother, and to no one else. Abortion should not be used as a form of birth control in and of itself, but ought to be acceptable in instances of rape, failed contraceptives, fetal disease, or a life-threatening pregnancy.
And to all the pro-lifers: abortion only stops a beating heart if you wait long enough for the heart to develop. No one is forcing the pro-lifers to get abortions, yet they wish to force everyone not to...
Keep pregnancy curable!

Jennifer, having considered all her options, decided that getting an abortion was better than forcing her child to live with a degenerative disease.

the removal of a unborn fetus and thus killing it. Personally, I do not support abortion because I think it is wrong and often used as birth control
HOWEVER
I also believe that since I am a man, it is not my place to tell women how to live their lives. Although I personally may think what they are doing is wrong, it is not my place to make a law banning this. And no, dont say "but its your responsibilty because its murder!" its not actually murder, more depriving someone of a future life. And think about it for two seconds: if you outlaw abortion, women will still get abortions. TRUST ME ON THIS. They will simply go to dangerous back alley abortion clinics.
