They're actually saving souls rather than having the unwanted babies born into possible poverty and then potentially suffering in hell at the end of their lives.
But if all the babies get aborted, who will they scare into paying tithes?

Exactly. This question has been asked a bunch of times to hell believers and still..... no answer. Just one more nail in the coffin of "eternal torment". I don't think there is much room for any more nails...

If a person believes that abortion is murder, why does it make it OK if the pregnancy results from rape or incest?

I think you are exactly right. And in fact the NT warns christians not to have children, and if possible abstain from marriage and not even produce the little darlings (marriage is a concession due to our appetite for the sex act). Kids are a crap shoot. One never knows what one is making-like a box of chocolates, one never knows what one gets; a serial killer, politician, crooked used car salesman, some one bitter over not being aborted, inept contractors, a terrorist, meth head, crack *****, lawyer, dirt bag, meat cutter with thumb on scale, crooked cop, alcoholic, that guy who picks his nose at work, that girl who never takes a bath, pedophiles, hen pecked husbands, losers, hustlers, snobs, american idol contestants, commies, animal lovers, vegetarians-did I leave out anyone? I always tell christians they are just populating hell bringing all their little bundle of joys into the world-not a friend maker method. I never heard a preacher warn the beaming wanna be parents of such a possibility. Evidently most think their little darlings won't be like all those suckie other children. It would be fine sending them all to heaven-it would make the roads less crowded.

You're right, I guess it doesn't. For the die hard anti abortionists, I believe they still consider it murder. My personal opinion is that there are some exceptions to the rule. I do not believe that everything has to be black and white.

To the OPer, live your life to the fullest and be happy for what you want to do in this life. Do not try to please others if you have doubts about it as it'll bring you more sorrow. Live for today and not worry about what may or may not happen to you after passing.

If worse comes to worse and there is a Christian god, it's still not too late to repent when you are in front of the pearly gates
