51. No, it's not a "baby inside of you"
It's a health decision. Pregnancy can be fatal and does take a toll on a woman's health. We have not mandated that everyone donate blood or organs. These things also save lives but you are not forced once a month or even once a lifetime to donate blood and that carries less of a health risk than pregnancy.

I find the limits to be insulting to women. "Golly, I think I'll have an abortion today. Oh, I have to wait 24 hours, Gee, I guess I'll just stay pregnant then." The implication that the woman hasn't thought it over is absurd.
