The only reason I would consider an abortion would be a physician's 
declaration that continuing the pregnancy would endanger my life. 

However, the three friends I have had who have considered abortion all
did so for the same reason:  they had gotten pregnant out of wedlock and
they did not want anyone to know they had been having sex with their 
boyfriends.  They wanted to protect their reputations.  When you start 
showing, after all, it's obvious to everyone what you've been doing.  

All three decided to carry their baby to term because they decided the
life of their baby was more important than their reputations.  Their
decisions were, in fact, based on the moral issues involved.
