I'm pro-circumstance, so I'll answer all of them.

The world becomes horrifically over-populated. You ever see Soylent Green where people literally sleep on staircases and streets because there is so little living space? And all the trees are cut down and "real" food is crazy expensive? Sort of like that. (except people aren't eating each other... Yet.) Would you support legalizing abortion in that situation?
Yes. We're already overpopulated so....

A second situation, would you support legalizing abortion if there was enough living space for everyone, but not enough resources? As in, people don't have to sleep on the streets, but there's very little food or clean water.
Yes. Needs of the living over needs of the
dead unexisting.

A third situation, a test reveals the fetus would be born gay. Alternately, a test reveals the kid would be a born a serial killer. (how does the test work? Magic.) Would you support abortion in such cases?
Gay? No. Because that would be saying gay people are sub-human. Serial killer? Yes. One a*****e > numerous innocents? Right.

A false uterus is made. At any stage in the pregnancy, a fetus or embryo may be removed from the woman's uterus and placed into the false one, where it can develop there. Initially the technology was made to help women whose lives were put in danger by the pregnancy, but it becomes cheap and available enough for it to be used in any case where a woman doesn't want to go through pregnancy. She has a non-invasive procedure to put the fetus/embryo in the false uterus, and when it's developed enough as to not need to live in there, it can be put into foster care. The woman doesn't have to go through either pregnancy or motherhood. Would you support making abortion illegal in such a situation?
The hell is a false uterus? Yes?

A second situation, the opposite of the Soylent Green style one: the world is becoming under-populated. The human population has been declining, entire neighborhoods are abandoned and there aren't enough people to work in all the industries. Would you support making abortion illegal in that world?
If it's depopulating 'Children of Men' style, then yes. Otherwise, we're already overpopulated. If that declines for a while, I'm not upset about it.

A third situation, a test shows the kid will be born with a genius IQ. They'd have high potential and would do a lot of great things. Would you oppose abortion in such situations?
Depends. If he's just incredibly smart, there's a lot of those kinds of people. If it's going to be a revolutionary figure responsible for furthering us as a species, then yes, that's completely different.

Think of the Soylent Green situation mentioned above. Now, in that situation, would you start supporting FORCED abortions?
Where we're overpopulated? Maybe. We'd have to be WAY too overpopulated. Like to the point where trees can no longer keep up with us.
