Because the pain of giving up a child one has given birth to would be a tremendous burden to carry, and totally unnecessary grief.

We have been conditioned to believe that abortion is 'bad', but an unbiased look at the realities of human development pretty much destroys any rational reason to be against ending an early pregnancy. When it comes to abortion, whatever misery is experienced is the result of fantasys and myths and things that are not real.

Carrying a pregnancy to term, and giving away the child is very real though. If someone chooses to put themselves through that pain for the benefit of a childless couple, I commend them, but to accept that it should be a logical alternative is horribly unjust.
