Allowing babies to be born who would otherwise be raised in a single parent household or to financially unstable parents does prevent more poverty. And no, I don't believe creating more and more orphans is a solution either. There's also the notion that there are people in this world who shouldn't breed at all, and it would be precisely those who are irresponsible enough to get accidently pregnant or those who would create future criminals/burdens to society. In an ideal world I am against abortion, but it just isn't so.

A healthy culture should see abortion as abhorrent in all cases.
I'm not for making it illegal, I'm for making it something nobody would ever talk about or admit to doing.
