I;m not sure exactly what you see in my view of abortion that justifies the murder of a child. The discussion is about the difficulty of determining when, or if, a fetus can be considered an individual with legal rights.
Currently it does not have those rights, and was not expressly given any under the Constitution, and abortion is legal.

Once born, you have a unique individual and a full citizen. The discussion is no longer about some fetal grey area. Then you are talking the murder of a separate human being, the rights of which are not in question. Then there is no justification for murder. However, the grey area of a first, or even second, trimester leaves me very unwilling to impose on other women my own personal and very subjective opinion.

As for post-partum depression- this relates how? Mental illness is a different topic.
