i give up so was kant against abortion
There is a difference between what Kant would have said versus what his theories and basic commitments might entail. For Kant it is the intent that matters, not the outcome.
Kant would have almost certainly opposed abortion as he opposed suicide, claiming we have a perfect duty not to do either. His theory, which ties moral duties to rationality, complicates this. Since fetuses lack rationality, like animals (to whom Kant said we owe no duties), his philosophy might not prohibit abortion unless we argue for the fetus’s potential to become rational

Hm??
I’m not the most morally responsible person ever, you know my moral compass is broken and my soul is rotten to the core

I do not think that skies and meadows are
Moral, or that the fixture of a star
Comes of a quiet spirit, or that trees
Have wisdom in their windless silences.
Yet these are things invested in my mood
With constancy, and peace, and fortitude,
That in my troubled season I can cry
Upon the wide composure of the sky,
And envy fields, and wish that I might be
As little daunted as a star or tree.

OK, I'll admit, unfortunately

In dramatic situations, I close my eyes very slowly and then reopen them.
I stay in the same place, in the same predicament, but things change.
