I'm not for any regulation on abortion. It should be a medical decision.
There literally should not be. Considering how time sensitive the most serious cases where it's needed can be? It should be up to a woman and her doctor, period. End of story. If someone thinks they are misusing that care, sue for malpractice.
But like my wife alone has had her life saved by abortion so many times. She's had an ectopic that would have ruptured and killed her, a miscarriage that wouldn't pass that she almost died of sepsis from, and there was the selective termination of one of our triplets because the seizures she was having were killing the other two babies and my wife's health was drastically declining waiting for the termination so she very likely might not have survived delivering them if we hadn't terminated the one.
Any one of those procedures even a few days of delay while some "Morality Panel" decides if you're situation is one of the "permitted ones" is going to kill people, many of whom being babies like my twins they claim to want to protect.
