In fact, your POV was greatly considered during Roe vs. Wade. That's why most abortions are limited to the first term. Most abortions happen in the 1st trimester because 1 - If a woman doesn't want to be pregnant and is ok with abortion, she doesn't want to wait, and 2 - Abortions are cheaper and easier and safer (for the mother), earlier in the pregnancy. It has little to do with Roe vs. Wade. In the 2nd trimester Roe allowed for regulation only in the interest of the mother, the fetus couldn't be considered. Even in the third trimester the allowable regulation has been very limited, certainly no outright ban of abortion in the third trimester has held up to judicial scrutiny. An exception for the health of the mother has always been required by the courts and that exception has been interpreted so broadly that a woman can say "I have to have this abortion or I'll go crazy" (mental health) at 8 months and no state law can stop her.
