The circumstances described by Senior only include if the women have been raped. However, rape is not the only consequence that we should be considering. The mother’s position of class and her ability to or not to be able to take of the child must also be considered. Financial issue could also prevent a mother to failure in providing for her child. For example, if a mother is single and has no way to help financially, she could be harming the child’s life and his/her future. No child deserves to be born to a family that cannot take care of a newborn. For instance, Jeremy Williams confirms within his book Wrongful Life and Abortion, that giving birth while you yourself are not financially stable could harm the kid, “the imposition upon a child of an existence of poor quality can
