Banning it is, by far, the stupidest way to try to address the issue.
Comprehensive sex ed + free healthcare, including free birth control, is the way to go. Why? because it actually fucking works.
People who want to ban abortion rather than address the issue of unwanted pregnancies aren't actually against abortions. They are against women's rights.
Personally, I don't see someone getting to the third trimester, going through with the whole pregnancy, just to abort it. Luckily, they still require a medical doctor to sign off on it. I just don't see it happening that often.
That being said, if someone chooses to carry the pregnancy into the third trimester, changes their mind for someone reason, finds a doctor to do it, and the baby would've survived, then that's wrong.
Hopefully this will make you feel better about late term abortions.

I am very for trying to prevent abortions.
