As for NAFTA - world is moving towards creating trading blocks, because of success of EU. As a trading block, not only it's beneficial for memebers withing the block, but the negotiating power of trading block >> negotiating power of individual country. Also given that you needed to go 30 years ago to find an example is kind of telling.
You have linked old article on a single speech Hillary gave? Often misinterpreted 2018 poll shows:
Given the choice between "open borders" — a position that no mainstream political leaders are proposing — and a "secure border," which is current U.S. policy, 79 percent of Americans agreed that the U.S. needs "secure borders."
The study you linked is on 1997 Finish study, this is critique from experts:
The Finnish study (5–7) did not control for the factors that are known to lead to the need for abortion, such as history of mental health conditions, violence, and abuse, and to increase a person’s risk of experiencing suicidal ideation or behaviors (8–11). When studies fail to account for these preexisting risk factors, they may misattribute any adverse mental health outcomes to the abortion rather than to those factors. Studies that control for these confounding factors have found that abortion is not associated with an increased risk of suicidal ideation or behaviors (12–14).
Edit: for physical harm: In our study sample, women who gave birth reported potentially life-threatening complications, such as eclampsia and postpartum hemorrhage, whereas those having abortions did not. Women who gave birth reported the need to limit physical activity for a period of time three times longer than that reported by women who received abortions. Among all women enrolled in the Turnaway Study, one maternal death was identified—one woman who had been denied an abortion died from a condition that confers a higher risk of death among pregnant women. https://www.whijournal.com/article/S1049-3867(15)00158-9/fulltext
