I think it needs to be
linked in with adoption/fertility treatments. Perhaps abortion is not always the only option, giving them up for adoption should be thought about to. At the same time, adopting kids seems like a good idea where fertility treatments are fail or are too expensive

If a women doesn't want to be pregnant it seems spectacularly unfair to encourage them to be pregnant for 9 months then to have a baby and then give it away.

no
not encourage. Give them the option, especially if they feel uncomfortable with the concept of abortion.

Well, yeah, the option is there
but I imagine it isn't often used because the reality and logistics of going through a pregnancy you don't want simply because you don't want an abortion even more would lead to an incredible amount of stress and heartache - giving away a child you've borne seems a lot more traumatic than ending a pregnancy you didn't want.
