My parents were not married til just before I was born and I was often told as a child that I was unwanted. They were strongly pro-abortion. Fortunately I was conceived before abortion was legal and I believe my life was worth living.

You have my prayers, my sister.
I try my best not to judge anybody, but your life, like every life, is worth lving. Glad you are around to argue with me!
Sylver piano, my heart goes out to you. Rape has not touched me personally, but my family. I hope you found peace.
Would a good woman commit an evil deed?
Yes. St. Mary of Egypt can attest to that, as well as countless others. What is the message of Christianity to the world if not forgiveness and love in the face of whatever wickedness people may do? "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Even people who knew they were committing evil deeds (St. Mary of Egypt, St. Moses) were still transformed by that very same forgiveness. We ought not to be so quick to condemn women (or men, or anyone) as "evil" for doing bad things. People are essentially good, or at least have a capacity for good that cannot be wholly extinguished by whatever bad they may do. Calvinist anthropology has no place in Catholicism, right?
Abortion is always and forever murder, but if a murderess cannot be forgiven, then Christ has died in vain and we are still slaves to sin and death. Perish the thought!
Doesn't repentance come into play somewhere in there?
Good women have abortions ?
Good women have abortions out of ignorance, while the others are in denial or apathetic to the unborn life they are destroying.
