Please explain how having a kid while knowing you don't have the means to raise it is selfless? You bring a life into this already fucked up world just to tell it "Sorry, you were never meant to be born in the first place and we don't have money to raise you properly, but hey at least you're alive."
I do believe it is stupid to do something against your will if you have a clear choice of not doing it handy. I would not give up my own life for anyone, be it catching a bullet or throwing away my future for a kid I never wanted. If my GF would get pregnant and refuse to abort despite my wishes, she can just have her baby by herself and I'll run off to Vegas.

It's selfless because they're choosing to do what they think is right and not what they necessarily want. The world has never been great, but it's the only one we have. Life is precious. Just because there's 7 billion people on the planet doesn't mean any individual life is less valuable. That's why people should procreate less and adopt more. Even so, unintended children don't necessarily lead sad lives. I was an accident, my mom raised me herself on a small income and my dad's never paid child support. None of our lives have been any less enjoyable.
