This world is overpopulated anyway
This world sucks and I don't want a child to be subject to the evils therein
...Wow, those all sound like they boil down to convenience.
How do those "boil down to convenience"?
Those too don't quite boil down to convenience, but I don't think either of those reasons provides a valid excuse for abortion.
Since criminals are detrimental to society, why are we not killing them and not unborn babies who could grow up to be productive members of society? I'm not saying there aren't reasons, but why are their lives so much more valuable than those of innocent babies who haven't had a chance to live their lives yet?
Of course the world sucks in many ways, but the mother should think about whether it sucks enough that they would rather have been aborted. In some cases, the answer may be yes, but does the mother really have the authority to decide that the baby's life will be too rough to let it live? How come it isn't legal to kill children who have lived terrible lives? Why aren't babies in Africa being killed to prevent their future starvation? We have it good in North America, so that logic doesn't really work here.
