Abortion is part of proper healthcare. As is affordability. If that's not there, then that's a lack of proper healthcare

I don't think the main point of this discussion is how to define "proper healthcare". Humans do not always think "let's have a baby and grow our family". No, they mostly just have sex and keep the baby in case of pregnancy, sometimes involuntarily.

Having the tools to abort pregnancy, prevent it, and know what you're doing is part of good healthcare. If this really is a major problem somewhere, then that place does not have proper healthcare available.

There are plenty of countries where this is already the case, most of them in Europe.

Yes, we can continue to discuss about accessibility of abortion tools but that is not my point. Couples or individuals may still decide to keep the baby after pregnancy happened, even though they did not plan for it or they don't have enough money to raise a kid. They just have sex and baby comes a surprise. This happens a lot more than you could imagine.

How did they manage to not know how they should take pregnancy tests and such?

But if they end up choosing to keep it, then that's not the issue here. Nine months is quite a while to figure out plans in
