I'm against it if it's a case where someone has casual sex, gets pregnant, and just decides that they don't want the baby just because it's inconvenient to them. If having a baby to look after is inconvenient for them, they could give birth anyway and someone else who can't have children, but really wants a child, can have it.
If the couple used methods of contraception that didn't work but the mother became pregnant anyway, but didn't want a child, then I still think she could at least give birth to the child and let someone else who would like a child to look after it.
But if it's a situation where having the baby is a danger to the mother's life/health or if it turns out that the baby may die after birth, I'm not against it. I'm also not against it if a woman was raped and ended up pregnant, it's a sad situation, as it would also be unfair to the child, and they would be an innocent victim, like the mother.
I'm sure there are lots and lots of scenarios where the issue of having abortion would arise, and I probably have different opinions in each situation, as Billy said.
