And in all of those cases the woman, as an individual, can decide to listen to that advice or not.
As a side note: I don't know anyone who is "OK" with abortion. The vast majority would like nothing better than for the abortion rate to be zero. However many of us feel if that is not realistic then it needs to be safe and legal.

Want to watch gay porn while eating a steak, smoking a cigar, drinking a six pack of pbr and screaming at the tv? Welcome to America. Go for it.
The issue isn't what a woman does to herself, it's when does she harm someone else (the fetus). Some say as soon as sperm meets egg, others say several weeks after.
I can't really add more to this. Pretty well stated.
