I believe that a woman should have the right to decide on her own whether or not she wants to keep her child. No one can know what it's like to be in that predicament unless the are actually faced with the dilemma. A woman should not be forced to bring forth a child that she does not want to or cannot take care of. In the end, that child would end up hurt because his/her mother never wanted him/her in the first place. A woman can have any reason for not choosing not to keep a child- it may not be the right time in her life; she may not be able to care for the child fiancially or emotionally, etc., etc. Of course a woman should think about that before getting pregnant but let's be realistic! Things happen, we're human and we make mistakes- should we have to pay for them for the rest of our lives? I do agree that it is not God's will for us to kill His children- it is a sin to have an abortion. But people sin everyday- I don't think God rates sins by degree of badness, a sin is a sin. I think the woman will just need to repent and truly be sorry about it and make sure that it doesn't happen again. For those people that have like ten abortions and rely on abortion to save their butts, let God deal with them!
