Because this life is also important. And human life in this life is sacred. Even if your intentions are "good", killing an innocent child is still the most heinous act you can possibly commit. You don't do something horrendous and evil for a "good" cause. Which, ironically enough, is also the reason why abortion is wrong even in cases of a crisis pregnancy.
(Also, as I said, I don't see Heaven & Hell as "destinations". But rather, as a state of being a person chooses to be in. Loving someone is also allowing them to have their own mind and their own free will. By killing a baby/child because you don't want them to make wrong decisions, you are not only taking away their life, but their free will as well. It's a heinous thing.)
I had an abortion in the case of a crisis pregnancy; am I heinous?
No. Everyone does things that I don't always think are right, and sometimes, that I think are very very wrong... including myself. That does not mean that they are bad people.
I can't imagine the plight of women who are faced with crisis pregnancies. And I strongly disagree with treating women who have had an abortion, or are about to have one, with condemnation and rash judgement on their character.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
