That's why focusing on prevention is the way. And let me make a counter-argument for the sake of the discussion:
Imagine a mother who had to give birth to her child and had to care until its adult life, in an abusive way, mistreating the child, hating that one human being and treating like garbage. What is worse, the “murder” of the child or raising someone in those conditions?
The hypocrisy here is that most of the pro-life movement wants the child to be born but does not care at all when it's in the world.
This video[0] shows an example of a politician how empathy makes you realize your error. Every so often, you have your view of the world, but how is important is your view in the expanse of the others?

- shepherdjerred 2y ago> What is worse, the “murder” of the child or raising someone in those conditions? Should we just begin murdering anyone who might not have a life that we define as good? That's essentially the argument that I'm hearing, except you're limiting the scope to unborn children. Though, I do completely understand your point. I just think that even in the worst of circumstances someone would generally prefer to live. I didn't have a particularly happy upbringing, and there were times I wanted to commit suicide, but I'm quite happy with where I'm at now.

For example in Brazil, few people know but a mother can abdicate their child to Child Support Services. They do try their best to care and prepare them to adoption programs.
