I, for one, am very concerned that, given the wrong set of circumstances, we could very easily be looking at a situation where it is perfectly legal in this country for a woman to abort her baby (for any reason)

We are already in that situation and have been since 1973. Read Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton sometime. A mother can have here child killed for any reason or no reason at all up until birth as long as the killing is committed by a licensed physician. It's abortion-killing on demand.

As far as I know, there are only seven states (and DC) that, like Canada and China (the only two of the world's developed nations) have no restrictions on how late a woman may abort her baby. You are correct, however, that more than half will allow abortions with a doctor's consent -and that most of those allow late term abortions for mental health reasons.

As we have discussed on this thread, I believe that Donald Trump's antics have given many Americans the incentive to take a second, and more realistic, look at the question of immigration. Perhaps people would do so on the question of abortion if more of our candidates were willing to talk about it.
