Abortion is euthanasia, assisted suicide.
Given the state of the world, not to mention the adults in the room involved with my exit, I would say "do it!"

Abortion is more like self defense. If anyone other than a ZEF was doing that to someone’s body, nobody would say they didn’t have the right to use deadly force to separate themselves from their attacker.

@LeopoldBloom Could you unpack that and say in simple terms what you mean?

@sree251 The effect of pregnancy and childbirth on a woman's body is potentially devastating. Here's one list.

Any of the above if carried out by anyone other than a ZEF would constitute major assault. While a ZEF can't form criminal intent, if its unwanted presence is causing harm, the woman is entitled to separate herself from her attacker, using deadly force if necessary.
One out of 8,475 women dies from pregnancy complications. The most common causes of death for pregnant women are:
Emboli (blood clots affecting the heart and brain);
Eclampsia (high blood pressure complications affecting pregnancy);
Heavy bleeding (Hemorrhaging);
Sepsis (severe infection);
Cerebral vascular accidents (stroke, bleeding in the brain); and
Anesthesia-related deaths.
Altogether, these causes account for 80 percent of all deaths relating to a woman’s pregnancy. Unknown or uncommon causes account for the remaining 20 percent of deaths related to pregnancy. Women who have chronic severe diseases are at greater risk of death than healthy women.
Continuing your pregnancy also includes a risk of experiencing complications that are not always life-threatening.
Approximately 15 to 20 of every 100 pregnant women require Caesarean delivery (C-section).
One in 10 women may develop infection during or after delivery.
About one in 20 pregnant women has blood pressure problems.
One in 20 women suffer from excessive blood loss at delivery.
Labor is when a pregnant woman’s uterus contracts and pushes or delivers the baby from her body. The baby may be delivered through the woman’s vagina or by cesarean section. A Cesarean section is a surgical procedure.
The following are possible side effects and risks associated with vaginal delivery:
Injury to the bladder or rectum;
A hole (fistula) between the bladder and vagina or the rectum and vagina;
Heavy bleeding (hemorrhaging);
Inability to get pregnant in the future due to infection or complication from an operation;
Emergency treatment for any of the above problems, including the possible need to treat with an operation, medicines or blood transfusion; and
Rarely, death.
The following are possible side effects and risks associated with Cesarean delivery (C-section):
Injury to the bowel or bladder;
Inability to get pregnant in the future due to infection or complication from an operation;
Heavy bleeding (hemorrhaging);
Injury to the tube (ureter) between the kidney and bladder;
A possible hysterectomy as a result of complication or injury during the procedure;
Complications from anesthesia such as respiratory problems, headaches or drug reactions;
Emergency treatment for any of the above problems, including the possible need to treat with an operation, medicines or a blood transfusion; and
Rarely, death.
