Abortion like you did mention is basically the termination of life whether it is deliberate, accidental or circumstantial. When the life of the mother is at stake, then it is circumstantial and of course the accidental, we know that blame cannot be apportioned to any. The crux of the matter to me is the one termed deliberate. Living in a society where being an unmarried mother is a scourge, or where the lady in question was raped or in the case of a young girl still in school with no means of livelihood , abortion can be considered or else a greater evil will occur. Yes this won't go down well with a lot of people but you know what? People are so hypocritical that they will condemn something but when faced with a dilemma, they go ahead albeit secretly with that which they condemned in the first place. My Girl-child is just 15, while I don't pray for such a mistake, if it happens, I will not allow her life to be so encumbered when she had not even started. I will 'do it' no matter what any body says. In summary, abortion should be done when it is not at all convenient to have the baby but by a professional. I owe none apologies for this and thanks for sharing.
