If those were the only scenarios under which abortions were performed, then you might be close to having some kind of a point. However, in this day and age abortion has also become a convenience, a way to 'fix' an unwanted problem. And in many of those cases, as noted in this very thread...the 'fix' becomes a source of sorrow and regret even years later, even when one's life has taken a more pleasant turn.
If abortion were not as easily available as it is today, then there would probably be far less mistakes made that need such fixing.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
