But I think still think that killing a child because it will cause any manner of depression or anxiety is selfish. Is getting rid of the fetus to prevent complications that do not have any dangerous physical toll really worth one human life?

I also think that giving your child up for adoption is a much better option than abortion. If the kid goes through some emotional strife, then that's way better than being dead. I agree with most of what you are saying, but if I could just argue (bad choice of wording; refute sounds better) about one more thing.

Sometimes, abortions can be better than adoptions. Hear me out. If, again going back to the young child example, the child (the mother, that is) is going to get a lifetime of depression or anxiety, you sure know she's going with suicide. That sounds so straight-out and cruel, but it's true. How would the baby feel about that? Knowing she's too much of a burden because of their slight age difference?

Here's the other thing. When you say "If the kid goes through some emotional strife, then that's way better than being dead", I could disagree with you on that. If the kid goes through some emotional conflict, you sure know that they're going to take their life. Emotional strife is so ​​​​​​​scary, and it'll be even scarier for a child that thinks their mother doesn't want them and that they've (the child) done physical and mental harm to their mother. Sometimes, it's just better to abort than psychologically torture the child.
