I'm not suggesting that anything is a reason to have an abortion.
I do know that when you read surveys about why women elected to have an abortion, you quickly find a pattern of economic and familial instability.
So why not attack those root causes? People on this board say all the time they would rather pay for the social welfare of unaborted children than to continue the practice, this is a concrete policy that would demonstrate that.
There are 6,000 abortions in Alabama every year. If you can prevent even 5-10% of those by guaranteeing women that they will still have a job after they give birth, that they will not suffer financially (immediately) while they recuperate, that their partner will be there to help them - would thay not be worth it?

I guess a response of “I was too irresponsible to not have sex until I had economic and familial stability” was not available. How low expectations you must have for people to think they are incapable of not being responsible for their own bodies.
ETA: if you are expecting the government to provide economic and familial stability, you are wanting the government to become the baby daddy.

We already give welfare to women who have babies and can't afford them so I have no fricking idea what you're talking about

If that is your argument, why stop short? Why not just go whole hog and offer $1,000,000 cash to the mother on the day the child is born?
