After that I came to the conclusion that most abortions are done to protect the parents, not the child.

Wait, that took you a while to figure out? Come on, bruh. Abortion has pretty much always been about convenience, barring the small percentage of pregnancies where a woman's life was legitimately threatened. There is a lengthy gestational period, labor pains, various birthing and child care expenses, and many other costs spread over the lifetime of a growing child, almost all of which can be conveniently sidestepped with an abortion. It is also more convenient for society because an abortion generally means you don't have to spend taxes on the kid. (Keep in mind that I'm not for or against abortion, and would just like to keep these discussions open and honest.)
