Luckily the crises preganncy center in Boro Park doesnt look to you to determine wha tpositions are tenible and what aren’t.
The Maharit says abortion is chavala (he leived pre 20’t century
Chavos Yair says Hotzaas zerah (based on this the Tzitz Eleizer says IF an abortion is require r”l better a woman do it sicn e she has less of an issur Hashcasas zera)
Nishmas Avrhama quotes R’ Shlomo Zalman as saying its stealing

To be clear NONE of the above are muttar for the sake of convenience nor career.
“bichlal that something should be classified for a goy a certain. Way and a yid a different way makes no sense על פניו.”
