Not so.  You have personal morals, and you have people who claim that
their personal morals are society's morals.  Not to mention that most
people are quite flexible in their morals, excusing immoral behaviour
on their part for various reasons.

The main cause of abortion is unwanted pregnancies -- unwanted because
you do not wish to create a child at that time.

The reasons for not wanting a child can be varied -- but poverty is
obviously not a problem since poor people seem to have more children
than rich people.
