There are rules (in every country where abortion is legal) about the number of weeks after which abortion isn't allowed anymore. The later it takes place the more stressful, emotionally scarring and physically damaging it is to the mother.
The inconvenience you mention is far greater than what you make us believe it is. I think that in most cases the child would have a very bad life if it would be born with these parents (or single mother) that can't give it the right care. The decision of having an abortion is terrible and is taken because the alternative would be worse. Even if theoretically you might have a point, practically it is common knowledge that forced abortion (by the mother, or by others) has been common practise in all kinds of societies over the ages. Where of course it is clear that this type of abortion is usually much more dangerous to the mother.
About euthanasia. That I am pro euthenasia doesn't mean I like to kill people. Again, if the reason you are against it is because people will be killed againts their will it is a wrong reason. Killing against ones will is illegal, period.
