Abortion is murder, regardless of who does it - the mother or some crazy dude. It is the termination of a living fetus. Seems pretty simple to me. The rationale behind the termination is irrelevant, as far as I am concerned.
With that said, the whole if she was raped situation.. uh, that's tough. The only rationale that perhaps is somewhat valid in my opinion. The only reason why is because if that child grows up in an environment that is not nurturing, the psychological repercussions could be huge. If that child grows up thinking that she/he was conceived in such a irreprehensible way and is consistantly being treated as such, that can lead to disorders that could range anywhere from psychopath serial-killer to schizophrenia. But, it is not guaranteed that these disorders would develop, especially if the child is raised in a loving home, which I admit would be pretty hard considering the circumstances. But, if there would be one situation where I sympathized with someone who had an abortion, it would be that one.
