I suppose objectively, up until the point that the wossit, foetus becomes sentient, it's the same as contraception; but as you say, it's such an emotive subject that you're never going to get an objective discussion.
It does seem to be one of those areas where the left have chosen to give Trump a kicking by telling lies about him. 'Trump wants women puniched for having abortions!' they shriek. As I understand it, he was asked if women should be puniched for having an abortion if abortion were illegal. Quite logically, he said 'yes', because, you know, there are punishments for breaking the law, but this is ignored by the hysterical termagents and lying ****erati.
