And what of the mother?

What if she is not of sound mind to handle a pregnancy?
What if she has health issues that could be dangerous to her own well being,
and as well put her existing family/children in jeapordy,
as she cannot work or even walk for months.
(or maybe not even make it through at all)
What if the pregnancy and birth is too much for her to handle,
and leaves her in a debilitated state.
(After my last two, I could hardly walk, and could only climb the stairs on my knees
for a few months after. It was REALLY hard on me)

It is NOT all about the potential child.
It is ALSO and equally about the mother...
(and the 'potential' mother)...
and the rest of the family as well.

Mostly people think of yourng "unmarried" women having abortions,
but also consider,
When an "older" woman can no longer handle raising babies and young children
she knows it.
This does not mean she should be expected to be celibate.
(these in fact are her prime sexual years)
As well, there is then the issues of giving the child up,
when there are already siblings
who obviously KNOW their mom has given birth.

EDIT: just to add... is a child who would do something "great"
of any more value than a more "ordinary" child?

Abotions ok when its needed and theres alot of reasons it can be needed. I know a few selfish women that use it instead of birth control pills which makes me think who the child is and what were the odds of that child being good to know one day.

I really don't know why a woman would want to do that to herself either.

An "accident" is bad enough.
But at least you know you tried.
You did your best to keep from getting pregnant,
when you KNEW you were unwilling/unable to have a baby.

Please. I've seen that too.
It's not fair to the existing first kids
to have more kids than you can really afford,
and give proper attention to.

We were both raised Roman Catholic.
We've both seen it I'm sure.
And that's not to say some families can't handle more.
But the truth is, that many more CAN'T. :areyoucra
Yet they do it anyway.

midians mommy!
I'm not God so i don't have the right to judge the women who make this choice and it is our God givin right to choose. i don't know every womans situation so it would be foolish of me to say that option shouldn't exist.
