Generally speaking, unless a mother doesn't particularly want to go through the process of having a child, issues such as socio-economic factors are not considered as raising a child is typically considered a communal effort and plenty of social institutions exist to support them without interfering with the mother's ability to work or a child's ability to undergo necessary socialization.

In these cases, a mother and father may sign a legal binding document rewarding custody of the child to the father and allowing the mother to relinquish legal custody and responsiblity.

In practice, it is fairly easy to get an abortion for any reason within the first two trimesters of pregnancy, but most doctors will not perform third trimester abortions except for medical necessity (the life of the prospective mother is in danger taking the pregnancy to term, or the fetus has become nonviable) or for pregnancies which are the result of a criminal act.
