If you are against abortion: are you ok with a woman aborting if they contract zika?

What would you do?

I think it’s pretty well known that when it became obvious that Thalidomide caused severe birth defects, even women who never thought they would abort, did. Every day I am assuming pro life people abort because they became aware of a birth defect in ther growing fetus. I say that because supposedly almost 90% of pregnancies found to have severe genetic defects are aborted and well over 10% of the country identifies as pro-life. I personally know pro life women who aborted when their fetus had no real chance of survival. That of course was a very extreme situation.

I just heard Marco Rubio is now saying women should not be able to get an abortion because of zika infection. I’m not sure what he is talking about? Women can get abortions. Does he mean a very late abortion?
