No, a woman that is 8 months pregnant, healthy, with a healthy child is going to have a hard time procuring an abortion.

By law, a woman should always been able to obtain an abortion as a matter of personal choice." isn't all that far from the current law. No. Roe v Wade established a trimester system: first trimester was individual choice; second trimester with increasing state concern; and third trimester with strong state concern. I'm not aware of any SC decisions that have overturned that framework. Whittled away at it--certainly; changed some of the restrictions. But the framework is the same. And it's certainly not "abortion is always a matter of personal choice." One of the classic misunderstandings. Which has been perpetuated for obvious political reasons.
