Either because what is inside her does not yet meet her definition
of human (even if it meets your definition) or because she is in
the tragic position of having to choose between her life and
safety and the life of another.
I doubt that ``want'' is ever the most appropriate term, either. I
know of nobody who thinks of abortion as a good thing; simply
something that, on occasion, is that which causes the least harm
to the fewest people.
It's never a good choice, but it may well be the least worst
choice. Regardless, the choice must ever be the woman's (with the
advice (but not consent) ideally of the father and certainly the
physician).
Cheers,
