I believe generally speaking, abortion is bad, or even wrong, because it ends the life of a human being simply because that human life is an inconvenience to the mother (or to the child's family).
There are two reasons I come to this conclusion:
1) That killing another person for selfish reasons is wrong.
2) That yet-to-be-born babies are other persons.
I am of Qārāʾîm Ancestry, with the belief in 'Elohim is One, I also believe in the Messiah of the Brit Chadasha.
Medical Terms:
Abortion – The termination of a pregnancy.
Conception – The uniting of a sperm and egg.
Dilatation and Extraction, D&X, (Partial Birth Abortion) – The baby is delivered feet first. The head is left inside the birth canal. A sharp instrument is used to puncture the rear of the skull at the base and the brains are sucked out. Once dead, the baby is fully delivered.
Dilatation & Curettage (D&C) – Abortive procedure where the abortionist inserts a curved knife into the placenta and cuts the baby up into pieces before it is suctioned out. Done in the first trimester.
Dilatation & Evacuation – An abortive procedure where an abortionist inserts a pliers-like instrument into the uterus. The abortionist then grabs whatever part of the baby it comes in contact with. Then, by twisting and pulling, the baby is dismembered, killed, and pulled from the womb.
Embryo – In humans, the pre-fetal product of conception from implantation through the eighth week of development.
Fetus – In humans, the unborn young from the end of the eighth week after conception to the moment of birth, as distinguished from the earlier embryo.
Infanticide – The killing of an infant.
Partial Birth Abortion – An abortive method.
Pregnancy – In humans, the state of carrying a developing offspring in the body of a woman.
Pregnancy Reduction – An abortive method of reducing the number of babies in the womb (twins, triplets, etc.) by injecting a poison into the heart of one or more of the babies while still in the womb.
Saline Amniocentesis – An abortive method where a highly concentrated salt solution is injected into the placenta. The baby takes the salt into the lungs as well as swallowing it. After more than an hour, the baby dies and the mother delivers the body a day or two later.
Suction Aspiration – A hollow plastic suction tube is inserted into the placenta. The strong suction tears the baby to pieces as it is suctioned out.
Zygote – The resultant egg after a sperm has fertilized it.
