That's a topic for a different forum but it's not okay to kill unborn babies just because the mother didn't plan on having one or it's an inconvenience to her.
So, by your comment I assume you support efforts to prevent unintended pregnancies through proper sex education and easy access to contraceptives, correct?
You do realize that until probably the 1920s it was very common in the USA for people to get married as teenagers with women being, often, very young (15,16,17) at the time of marriage and that had been the norm since the continent was discovered (i.e. several hundred years...and was common in the world for several thousand...heck it’s still common in undeveloped countries). It’s only been about the last 70-80 years when people have, thankfully, learned it is better to get an education (and also, thankfully, women have been allowed to get an education) so that they are getting married later.
Which means people have been biological programmed to have / expect sex in their teen years—which is not going to change simply because you say, “don’t have sex until your married”. You need to back that statement up with support via education to explain sex works and how contraception works so we can avoid or at least minimize the need for abortion.
There is data to support education and easy access to contraception as a means to reduce abortions which I would think people in the right or anyone who is anti-abortion would support.
