I don't like abortion but oftentimes it is the result of a parent not being able to properly care for a child. You see it as culling the herd but to me it's about the mother making the choice based upon whether or not they can provide for their child. I can guarantee you abortion rates would instantly go down the moment day care becomes drastically more affordable and accessable. 

Of course there's an economic component to it.  But that doesn't mean it's any more okay to kill a child in the womb to save daycare than it is to kill them on six months later.

The thing is a fetus isnt a child for a good portion of the time it's in the womb. I'm leery of late term abortion unless there's a serious medical concern involving the mother or child but I have a very hard time saying a fetus is the same as a child for basically all of the first trimester at least
