actually I had a friend who got pregnant, wrestled with the idea of aborting, decided to have the baby and then miscarried anyway

yes, God would know, but the fact that it would have ended that way is not justification for the attitude of the heart that motivated the action of abortion in the first place- we keep looking at the outward actions but the truth is these actions are just the symptoms of wrong attitudes and thoughts- this is where sin is rooted and this is where it must be dealt with. This is why we cannot just keep doing what we know is wrong and depend on the grace and forgiveness of God to allow us to keep sinning.
Abortion can be forgiven but not if the heart attitude that prompted it in the first place is not changed- what would have happened anyway is not the issue- what prompted the wrong action in the first place is what is being dealt with- the disease- not the symptom

I can only speak ethically, as an atheist.
If a woman aborts a baby for any reason except ONE (the mother is in medical jeopardy and could not live to the age of viability for the infant, even if it costs her life), then she is in moral error. Only if she cannot sacrifice her life to get the child to the age of viability (currently five months) should the abortion be allowed (no good is brought by causing both to die, the child cannot live without the mother before viability).
Pro-life Atheist.

In cases such as a tubal pregnancy the woman has no choice. If she doesn't her tube will rupture which can cause her to be infertile, or could even take her life. That baby never had a chance of making it past 12 weeks so it's not a sin.

Abortion is a personal choice so I'd say it depends on how she personally feels about it.
It's "irrelevant" if it would have ended up in a "miscarriage". If she had the abortion, that's the only thing that's "relevant".
I personally don't believe in abortion but I don't presume to make that decision for anyone else.

and,,,does that mean you dont think she still cant be loved by Jesus...wrong look up Saul(Paul) in the bible and see how He killed many but He gave His life to Jesus and became Paul and He was a new person..His past could not hold Him only the Love of Jesus..

Her intent was to kill an innocent unborn baby. That is a mortal sin, in other words, a sin which leads to death if not repented.

Yeah, and what if I hold up a store and shoot the owner, who would have died of a heart attack the following day anyway? What are you asking anyway?

Then she'll never know, will she? Incidentally, you don't abort "a pregnancy". You terminate a pregnancy by aborting a child.
