While the mindset that is against legal elective abortions but for legal abortions in these particular cases is understandable, I don't agree with it.
There could certainly be benefits to carrying out the act when the pregancy is a result of rape or when the fetus has defects - psychological in particular. But I don't believe that these benefits come close to justifying the act.
