Abortion:
There's no killing of a baby until someone's actually impregnated. Once they are, though, getting an abortion would be murdering the baby (or at least its potential). As flr quality of life, I don't think you can measure that until it has already happened. Even if it does decrease the quality of life of the mother, is her quality of life of life more important than the actual life of another? I would rather have been born to a homeless family that has to struggle through life every day, rather than not being born at all. If having a baby will decrease someone's quality of life to that extent, then they shouldn't have sex at all, or should face the potential outcomes of doing it. I know, some might say that making them not have sex is wrong. But it would be their choice, and it's a fact of human nature that sex produces a child, and they know that. It really doesn't matter if their child is the one that cures cancer or the one who becomes a serial murderer, it's still that innocent child's life that someone else gets to decide whether it lives or dies.

And as for the father running away, there should be laws obligating them to the child, just as the mother is, and face jail time for child neglection if they do run away. Honestly, though, it won't solve the problem as much as it should. If the father or the mother don't want to raise the child, but are legally obligated, they probably won't raise the child very well. Again, it really all comes down to the guy and girl choosing to have sex...
