We often didn't have water or electric. All five of us are productive adults (not in jail or on government aid). I didn't realize I was poor until 7th grade when I overheard the school teachers divvying up donated uniforms and my name was mentioned. Many great people, including presidents, grew up poor (they weren't aborted).

Anecdotal evidence at best. There are troves of evidence that growing up poor is almost insurmountable. Yes, some do overcome it, but the vast majority - MILLIONS - do not.
But, I know of NO ONE that is arguing being poor is a reason to get an abortion. But, a lot of people say it can be a contributing factor.
Just one of many possible examples, a poor single mother of 3 working 2 jobs gets pregnant and finds via testing that the child will only survive with a specific medication taken daily the medication costs $1000/month and if it is not taken they child will live a couple months in pure agony.
But, that is not even important, what is, is the court deciding when life begins.
This is more like a court deciding that people and their doctor should not be able to decide on surgery, because God doesn't believe in blood transfusions. Or any diseased organs have to be given a proper funeral since, they used to be part of a person.
