I heard Zen teacher one time talking about abortion, and he was saying the way that abortion makes bad karma is any time the person involved pretends that there's not a cost to the choice, one way or the other; whether you get it or don't get it, there's a cost. That's just basic responsibility, to admit that there's a cost. And the bad karma is when you pretend that the thing is free.
Your first responsibility is to yourself and to your own goodness of heart.
Our first responsibility in all things is to preserve our goodness of heart - then and only then act.
