We have laws that protect animals, yet we compassionately destroy them. You can't beat your animal with a 2x4 yet if the animal runs away from the abuse, we destroy it. Compassion can be expressed as a broad pallet of actions with often contradictory methods whose unifying principle is the reduction of the overall level of suffering. I put abortion into the compassionate destruction category.

Most people agree it is better to spay and neuter than to destroy animals. I think prevention of pregnancy is better than termination of it. However, both have their place in a compassionate society.
