No it is not in any way a crime against humanity. In fact it can help humanity. Let's face it, current abortion rules often state the abortion cannot happen after the second trimester, which is fair as at that point it could be classified as life, but before then the fetus is in no way self aware and isn't developed enough to count as life.

The reason I say that it can help humanity is that it is far more humane to terminate a pregnancy before the fetus is developed than to allow a child to be brought up in harsh conditions, poverty and with parents who likely don't want it. People often use th 'it could be a doctor' argument, but lets face it, if you can't afford to keep a baby you probably live in a low social/income area (sorry about the generalization) and the child has almost no chance of becoming a doctor in those circumstances. That's just one scenario though.
