This seems more likely to be the norm.

Also life span was a HUGE issue for familes, this is why 100 years ago an average family was 7-10 children, simply because of the death rate of children.

If you want stories about back alley abortions you really have to look to the sex trade. In those cases there is often a question of whether either the pregnancy or the abortion was the mother's choice.

Thankfully Abstinence education fixes that issue, right?

My ex-wife's grandparents were both raised in different orphanages and as adults found each other and started a family. The reason they were orphaned is unknown but, probably related to war. My point is that their lack of a loving home didn't keep them from finding love or making a home of their own. Their lives were worth the trouble.

That's super, so you want to see the real statistics on adoption today, orphanages which have incredibly low adoption rates?
Its neat you support pro life, yet you probably want planned parenthood to lose its funding because less than 5% of its funding goes towards abortions.
Whats even more pathetic, is that you are a christian. Before modern science which is behind the dictation of when a life is truly a life, your average lifespan was 40 yrs if that, and mothers were expected to lose 1/3 of their children, IF NOT MORE.
So obviously your god wants children to die, because without modern science natural abortions would vastly outnumber real abortions in our modern societies.
