Heartless? You are raising that child at near the poverty level... their life has a high chance of being an unhappy one, unless they get very lucky... and few people win the lottery. I'd say it is very selfish of the mother to not realize this.
Oh, and every egg one loses in the process of menstruation is also potential life. Every animal and plant you eat WAS life, and probably could have born more life (therefore potential life). You start you origin point too late by far... the origin is with the seed, not with the impregnation of the seed.
Life and death are saddening... but it is those who are alive that concern my life... not those who could be alive right now had circumstances been different. You call it potential life... But almost is still missing.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
