I'm sure there are pro-abortion people out there, people who would tell me that I should have an abortion because I don't have the ideal situation to have a baby, or who would abort my baby without my consent because it would kill me, or I already had another child and they needed population control (China).

But most people who are Pro-Choice really are Pro-Choice, they think that a woman should have a choice, not that they should abort. Furthermore, there are also people in the gun lobby that think that everyone should have a gun (for protection... it'll decrease crime... yaddayaddayadda).

Some people do believe that abortion should be on demand up until birth because of unforeseeable consequences or situations, and they believe such in good faith. Or they think that the government has no business in our medical decisions or personal choices.

I agree with you though, it is very rare to find doctors willing to do routine late-term abortions... or late term abortions period. The later the stage, the more risk to the mothers health as the abortion procedure mimics giving birth to differing degrees, but adds risk which isn't there during a birth--- thus it's usually better to go with inducing labor or Cesarean for the woman (not always the fetus) rather than risk leaving body parts behind or going through 3 days of forced dilation. Keep in mind I'm talking about 3rd trimester abortions which are past the point of viability.
