This topic needs to be talked about carefully. Personally, I do think that abortion is wrong, but there are always extenuating circumstances during which decisions must be weighed carefully. For instance, if there was a large health risk for the mother in an emergency situation, and there was more of a chance for the mother to survive, then abortion would be a wise option.
In cases of women who aren't able to properly care for a child, adoption is always an option. Of course there will be shame and other strong emotions involved, but hopefully in such situations the best decision will be made with the infant as the priority.
There's also the question of what should happen if a woman is raped, and she becomes pregnant. Honestly, I don't know how I would handle thinking of carrying my rapist's baby, and further even caring for the child who boar so much resemblance to someone who inflicted so much pain to me.
Above all, I think that advice from loved ones should be sought out and the decision needs to be made with as much integrity as possible.
