I have two responses to this scenario.
1) You didn't say at what stage of the pregnancy she chooses the abortion. At 2 weeks? At 8 months? It matters, in my view. I see abortion as a morally gray area, "lighter gray" in the earlier weeks, "darker gray" in later weeks, switching to "morally unacceptable" when we pass the point of viability (except for cases of medical emergencies).
I recognize that you place the "morally unacceptable" line earlier, at conception, or perhaps at the point of using birth control, depending on your religious tradition.
2) After we get through deciding whether her abortion was immoral, I want to look at the situation. She's likely to lose her promotion because of being a mother. You didn't say that her husband was likely to lose HIS promotion because of being a father. THAT is an inequity in the workplace that I want to see changed. Your scenario is accurate -- that kind of gender-biased penalty for parenthood happens all the time -- and it's unjust.
1. it's not a morally gray area.
we have one photo of my niece or nephew, the scan to see if he or she was still young enough to kill.
I wish he or she had had the chance to live I just do
2. the woman who would lose her promotion if she didnt kill her child...she would lose her promotion to 'mother' by killing her child which is worse, at least she could have adopted it out and give another woman a chance at being a mother if she herself valued her job more than the life inside her.
3. many men have no idea they are fathers because their babies are killed without them being given a voice because it's not their 'choice'. I find that equally as tragic and a worse inequality than the one in the scenario of losing promotion. who honestly cares about careers when it's your child's life or death.
