Now lets take abortion. Abortion is limiting someone’s reproduction. Without abortion they would have a child who would pass on their genes in turn. With abortion this does not happen. As far as Darwinism is concerned these people may as well be infertile as they do not have any viable offspring.

Those more inclined to have children will, while those who are not won't. As a long trend this could very well effect human evolution.
