IMO for most women, their choice was sleeping with someone and having consequences. (And the fathers should be held accountable too.)
There are a few caveats like rape, but let's be real -- it unfortunately happens a lot in life, but it's a disingenuous argument for most given it being a statistical unicorn unless the definition of rape is twisted into regret. I set it aside accordingly.
That coupled with the fact the baby is a separate entity, albeit frequenting the mother's womb temporarily, it is murder to rob it of its life. Is that acceptable? Personally, morally, not really.
(And I don't really buy the wait-until-3rd-trimester argument because I wouldn't eat a fucking chicken egg if it contained something that looked like a human baby does at the end of the 1st trimester.)
Pragmatically though, I'm aligned with onetruephilosoraptor in that I think it's better for these children probability wise to be put out of their misery immediately vs. long-term suffering under unwilling parents.
The only personally acceptable scenario for "acceptable human murder" which doesn't fall into things like choosing between the life of the mother vs. child, etc., is assisted euthanasia. But that's really only due to a lack of physical ability, and is self-directed.
