You're contradicting yourself here, unless you mean that the 'choice' should be made before conception.

The choice should be made before conception. BUT . . . that does not always happen and some folks use it after conception.

I know the point you are trying to make.
If you have an unwanted pregnancy your life will be hard, at least for a time. I have seen that suffering and it isn't easy to see. And maybe you have too. But aborting a child for that reason is a great injustice. Both those on the left and right sense that, and that's why there is discomfort.

I think that discomfort is a warning sign. How is it good for any society to promote or legalize injustice, even on the basis that it makes peoples lives easier in the short term?

A lot of peoples lives were wrecked when they lost their slaves during the Civil War. I imagine some starved. Does that mean we should have continued to allow slavery, so some peoples lives would be easier?
