When I was in favor of outlawing abortion, I simply understood it as whether or not people should allowed to end the life of a fetus. That's obviously morally wrong, so I felt that people should not be allowed to make that choice.
My views changed as I realized the issue was more complex, and that abortion policies greatly affected the mother and her well-being. I'm pro-choice now largely because abortion resrictions have the potential to greatly endanger women physically, even when the exception for the mother's life is supposedly there.
I do find the whole issue morally troubling, but I'm not simply "morally-opposed, legally in favor" because I consider moral arguments on the mother's safety to be the the primary issue.
