CMV: Abortion should be limited but still allowed

My opinion on abortion is pretty complex. As a woman myself, I definitely agree that women should have control over their bodies. But also, I am convicted because some people just "don't want to have a kid", so they abort it. It basically takes a child off of the planet because you didn't want to go through 9 months and put it up for adoption. I find it similar to opioids or narcotics: Sure, it's your choice, but, it should be limited to none because it isn't healthy for you/the world/people around you (not saying that people around a person who has had abortion should say anything to them about it).
I also think it should most definitely be allowed in some cases. For example, a 12 year-old who is raped. That child should not have a baby if they don't want to. It's okay to have the baby if you want, and I respect the opinion of those who have, but it shouldn't be forced.
I guess my opinion is pretty in the middle. Please no "spirited" debating in the comments but I am very open to conversation about it.
EDIT: please do not treat me like i am saying there should be a full ban. I believe in body autonomy. Also I am not "anti-abortion" but I am trying to build a valid opinion. I am no

Trying to be fair, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s where it gets complicated Feels like there’s more coming here.

If you zoom out, the signal is clear, the strategy less so which is why this is getting picked apart That’s what makes this interesting. Feels like there’s more coming here. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Not gonna lie, this feels more about execution than intent and that tension shows up immediately Others will probably see it differently.
