I'm not clear what you mean by 'no social pressure', we're social animals, every decision we make is laden with social pressure of some sort and takes place in an ethical framework of some sort. I agree that people harassing women seeking the procedure, physicians and clinics, creating legal impediments to abortion and so forth are unacceptable pressure.
That said, your point on the choice for the procedure being from a patients perspective is correct, and in current health care ethical thought, the most defensible perspective.
