Additional: it seems bizarre that a barely formed human, which couldn't even exist independently, could be considered to have more rights than a fully grown animal in the prime of its life.
I also don't subscribe to the idea that life is automatically a net positive experience. I am never having children, and this is one of the reasons. I would turn this on its head in fact. If I was pregnant, and I couldn't reasonably guarantee a fairly good life for the child, I would consider it my duty to abort it. Being chucked into the adoption system right away because I can't look after it certainly wouldn't qualify to me. There are realistically only so many humans that can be supported in a country, and with new potential ones coming all the time, it makes sense to me to focus on the ones with a better chance of a happy life.
