going through a pregnancy puts a huge strain on someone mentally and physically, why is it wrong to not want to put yourself through this for a kid that you don't want in the first place?
I do condone abortion in the case of severe medical risk to the mother. However, in the other cases you mentioned, it does not matter whether or not a woman WANTS this child, or whether it will disrupt her life. 9 months of disruption and pain is not a long time in the grand scheme of things.
