Well, yeah, it would... also the fact that you explicitly said that the problem is that outlawing abortion is harmful to the woman in question, and that if someone could demonstrate to your satisfaction that there was other harm that outweighed it, that would be a relevant consideration, but no one has done so. Which is inherently a utilitarian argument.
But hey, maybe I misunderstood you.

Find 1 non medically necessary late term abortion and we can have this discussion. In the absence of that case why should the state spend resources intervening?
There is a much better conversation around sex selective abortions done between 10 and 20 weeks. At least there is eveidence of them happening each year.
