Which is why they have no interest in real discussions. Nothing in reality supports their nonsense.

Some points:
1- Being concerned for one's physical health should never be considered a "convenience"
2- Abnormality in an unborn baby can have severe repercussions for both parents and the fetus, should the mother decide to carry it to term. Again, I don't see how you could think of this as mere "convenience".
3- Elective and unspecified reasons is pretty vague, so again, I think blanketing this whole category as "convenience" isn't fair.
I agree that your example is a fairly good one for what is inconvenient. Continuing...
Tell me something, have you actually spoken to someone who's actually -had- an abortion as to why they did so? Somehow, I doubt that most if not all of them would have said "because I wouldn't have been able to hang out with the girls anymore". You may wish to take a look at the opening post of this thread- it lists the reasons given for having abortions, starting with the most common one- financial circumstances (40%).
Just an "inconvenience"? I suspect you don't know many people who have disabled children. Here's a bit from a paper on raising disabled children and how it not only affects the family unit, but the disabled child themselves:

Implications for the Family
Living with a disabled child can have profound effects on the entire family—parents, siblings, and extended family members. It is a unique shared experience for families and can affect all aspects of family functioning. On the positive side, it can broaden horizons, increase family members’ awareness of their inner strength, enhance family cohesion, and encourage connections to community groups or religious institutions. On the negative side, the time and financial costs, physical and emotional demands, and logistical complexities associated with raising a disabled child can have far-reaching effects as we describe below. The impacts will likely depend on the type of condition and severity, as well as the physical, emotional, and financial wherewithal of the family and the resources that are available to them.For parents, having a disabled child may increase stress, take a toll on mental and physical health, make it difficult to find appropriate and affordable child care, and affect decisions about work, education/training, having additional children, and relying on public support. It may be associated with guilt, blame, or reduced self-esteem. It may divert attention from other aspects of family functioning. The out-of-pocket costs of medical care and other services may be enormous. All of these potential effects could have repercussions for the quality of the relationship between the parents, their living arrangements, and future relationships and family structure. Having a disabled child may also affect parents’ allocation of time and financial resources to their healthy and unhealthy children, their parenting practices, their expectations of healthy siblings in terms of achievement, responsibility, and short- and long-term contributions to the household, and the siblings’ health and development. Finally, having a disabled child in the family may affect the contributions of time and financial resources on the part of the child’s grandparents or other extended family members, the relationships of those individuals to the core family, and the financial, physical, and emotional wellbeing of those family members. All of these potential effects on families have implications for the health and well-being of disabled children.

Sadly two women. So what? Have you ever talked to someone whose biological father was her mother's rapist? I have.

I made up an example reason. There are all sorts of reasons out there; almost all of them fall under the "convenience" umbrella.
Not "just an inconvenience", but it IS an inconvenience nonetheless. It takes a lot of extra work to raise a child with a disability.
I do, actually. My best friend is blind in one eye. My best friend's son is autistic. My best friend's brother is mute. They are all God's children and they are all loved, regardless of all the extra work and care that is required during their lives due to their conditions.
