Josh, from what I've been reading, it seems to me that many of the people with this view firstly: don't take the the child into account at all. As they don't believe the child is alive, they only think about the negative impact that carrying and having the baby may have on the mother.

And secondly, they think that since the aborted baby will never experience life, it won't have to experience the ups and downs, including whatever possible feelings of abandonment, identity confusion, and resentment which are common for us adopted kids. They seem to think its just the easier, simpler route.

I may be misinterpreting (and people who think this please let me know if I got it wrong) but that's the message I'm getting.
