Sam: I looked up the Yabia Omer, and you seem to mis-remember Rav Ovadia Yosef’s psak. He rules in vol 4 Even HaEzer siman 1 that abortion is assur min haTorah and only permitted for pikuach nefesh. He quotes Rav Waldenberg in Tzitz Eliezer as being more lenient, but disagrees. The 7 months comes from the Tzitz, not Reb Ovadia.
