I do not think convenience is a global enough term for why women end pregnancies. I would say necessity is better. I do not want a woman forced to throw her education away, drop out of highschool and probably doom herself (and her child) to a life in the lower middle or lower class because of an unintended pregnancy- her male counterparts future is not so doomed. If she chooses- whether pregnant teen or older woman- to carry a child that will most probably change her financial and social status for ever after that is of course HER choice- but it seems to me, from a utilitarian perspective, to be to the detriment of society to force women to make the choice to keep unintended pregnancies or to have these children and give them up. Men are not raising the children they create, women are. And already way too many of them are doing it alone. I certainly wouldn't want to be in the business of forcing them to do it alone.
