I think it can be argued as simple self-indulgent self-interest, sloth and greed. A general disregard for the sanctity of existing life at the expense of ‘new’ life. It is a decay of the human spirit and eventual surrender to evil.

Agree with you, gaffer. What is ironic is that the Left chastizes those who believe is capitalism as greedy and evil because the system is based on enlightened self-interest while socialism is based on individual sacrifices for the “common good” (although common good is subject to interpretation). Now abortion turns the argument around: Liberals want it to be based on enlightened self-interest and conservatives want the common good to rule. Yet, once again, conservatives are characterized as greedy and evil for wanting to help others.
