There should be restrictions on elective procedures. The life of the mother should always be the first consideration as it is in all non-elective procedures. However, the fact that the abortion procedure is a contentions political issue does not give it any more or any less weight than considerations in any other procedure.

A better way to think about this would be: How will freedom from the specter of financial ruin and assured health care for a child affect a woman's decision to have children? The government should not directly nor indirectly play a role in that decision either way by funding abortion when it's elective or not funding it when it is not. Complete health care for the mother and child should be the only consideration.
