I know I'm late to this conversation, but I don't see why abortion should be illegal. I just don't think it should be a government funded thing.
If a woman doesn't want to carry a child and give birth, she should not be forced to do so. Highly unlikely that such a child is going to grow up to be a well adjusted, productive member of society. That said, there's no reason the state should be using tax payer money to assist such women, unless there are exigent circumstances.
There are too many women today who've just shunned all personal responsibility, and use state funded abortions as a most perverse form of fucking birth control. These women need mental health treatment, not easy unfettered, unaccountable access to abortions.

@SexyKelly Its a subject where the state should only intervene in extreme situations. Its really up to individual conscience. Obviously if the woman's health is in serious danger, if she's been raped, if the foetus is badly deformed - no politician or clergyman or self-appointed judge has any business telling her she must have the baby. I wonder if any woman would seriously use abortion as a means of birth-control; more likely is that out of carelessness or being drunk or not thinking straight, she conceives without wanting to. Even then I think its ultimately her decision. The DUP's stance is ridiculous.
