medically induced abortions should remain safe and effective, as well as widely available, its a medical procedure, and ideally one that would only rarely be used, but not because of any moral hangups, but for the convenience of the women involved, even in the most pro-choice society, you will still have to visit a doctor at least once, and that can be a hassle in itself, even if the visit is just like visiting any other doctor. So prevention is ideal, but abortion should always be available.
