Because whether they are married or not, the man is still the father of that child, just not husband to mother.

A husband and wife shouldn't get abortions anyway -- they're married and traditionally its the intention to start a family when one marries.

But what if it interferes with their career, social life, financial situation?

Think of all the single people out there that have sex?! There are a lot of men out there (at least that's what they're supposed to be) that have no intention of being a father. You've all met those kinds of men (and women for that matter). Yes, its the responsibility of both parties to protect themselves from contraception, but lets face it, not everyone is going to have a condom at hand, nor will they always make the effort to get one. All of a sudden, women are left in a predicament -- raising a child with no father, and possibly no prospective father (some women think that they'll be less attactive to the opposite sex if they have kids from a previous relationship). If the woman is young, its quite possible that she may just be starting a career or education -- which in turn could be put on halt while raising a child, thus not being able to provide for the child (diapers, baby food, and medicine is very expensive).

Two words, Responsibility, and Adoption. They don't have to keep the baby, but should they be allowed to kill the baby, because it's a giant inconenience. What if there father or mother became terminally ill and they had to take care of them. Should they be allowed to "dispatch" them because it doesn't fit into there schedule?

I'm not sure I understand this. Why is this wrong, and having just one is ok? Is it the number's? 1 is ok, but 3 is bad? How about 2 times?
I respect your opinions, I just don't agree with them. When do you think life is created? Does life just suddenly happen in the third trimester?
Here is another question. Lets say a man kicks a pregnant woman in the stomach and she is in the second trimester. Because of the kick she looses the baby. Should that man be charged with assault, or manslaughter/murder?
