While your summary is interesting, "alternatives are worse" implies that abortion is bad. ... I mean, it's a surgical procedure; obviously it's not as much fun as, say, a good waltz, a hot bath, or even a math class.
I'm using a scale in which just about any surgical procedure is bad - they almost all damage the body and render it less functional than would otherwise be the case. (I'll grant that a few are neutral). Having your arm amputated is bad - doesn't stop it being a hell of a lot less bad than letting gangrene spread.
Ideally, I'd like to see absolutely no abortions - but due to there being no unwanted pregnancies, no serious birth defects, no backstabbing bastards etc. rather than because some hamfisted person has banned them.
And mmm for the thought of good waltzes and hot baths.
But the core of my belief is I don't get to say what's right for someone else, and I don't want to, rhetoric about how things would all be so much better run if people would just listen to me notwithstanding.
Ah - my version is that I get to say what I believe is right but except in rare cases people don't have to agree or do what I say.
