I think that if a woman wants an abortion and can live with it then she should be allowed an abortion. She herself should decide.
Anyone should be allowed to have an abortion (obviously men are incapable of doing this) regardless of their mental health or how the child was created.
I also agree with the British policy of allowing abortion under normal circumstances up to 24 weeks. After this a child can just about live, hence should be allowed to. Anything less than this doesn't allow for time to decide on whether to have a child or not and also to make sure that a woman is pregnant.
