My thoughts on abortion have changed a few times over the years. I thought that there is nothing wrong with abortion because the fetus doesn't become human until it starts to take information in. until then its just a blank slate.

If the child will have a painful life, it would be more humane to abort it before it becomes conscious. would you get bad karma for taking a life? that i do not know but if you are saving that child from a lifetime of suffering does that justify it?
