inconvenience
Curous,
I think you're oversimplifying things a LOT to say that an unwanted pregnancy, and the responsibilities of raising a kid for 18+ years, are just "inconveniences" for the mother. These things change the mother's life, maybe for the worse, in MAJOR, MAJOR ways. It's a really big deal to have a kid and give it up for adoption, or to have a kid and raise it right. It takes a huge amount of sacrifice on the parents' part. I understand why some women in some circumstances would choose abortion. I don't think it's because they're just selfish and want to avoid the "inconvenience" of pregnancy and caring for a kid. It's just not that simple.
