The portrayal of women having abortions as "selfish" seems to be misguided.

Concern for Current and Future Children A Key Reason Women Have Abortions

"Responsibility for Existing Children and “Ideal” Conditions for Motherhood Found to be Important Factors
Women’s sense of responsibility for their existing and future children influences their decision to seek an abortion, according to “‘I Would Want to Give My Child, Like, Everything in the World:’ How Issues of Motherhood Influence Women Who Have Abortions,” by Rachel Jones et al., published in the January 2008 issue of the Journal of Family Issues. The majority (61%) of U.S. women who have abortions are already mothers, more than half of whom have two or more children. In many cases, women choose abortion because they are motivated to be good parents. Women who have no children want the conditions to be right when they do; women who already have children want to be responsible and take care of their existing children."
