Obviously I look at it as a moral issue, and I believe abortion is murder. I have 2 beautiful grand daughters who were born premature.. they struggled, but now are wonderfully healthy.
All that aside.. my personal belief is, no matter the circumstances, that baby has a right to life. They may have a rough beginning, but use those circumstances to push them higher. I think one solution is to make it easier for people to adopt. I've known several people who would LOVE to adopt, but were not allowed.. they didn't have the right house, job, the right amount of money, etc.. so like was said, it's easier to leave them in a orphanage I guess.
Here's the thing, as Monk said... when a society begins to murder people (babies) who are 'inconvenient', I believe it opens a door. Eventually, it might be ok to euthanize old people who have no one to care for them.. the handicapped, crippled, sick, ugly, different, etc.. we get right back to Hitler.. get rid of those who are imperfect, or not deemed helpful to society.
Extreme vision? Absolutely. Could it happen? I think so. .it has happened before.
