if you want a conflict-free abortion for a character, you can't just decide to write one, if you want it to be realistic and IC. You have to consider the relationships and circumstances of the character.

Fair enough. I mean, if you want it to be extremely in character. But then I'm in a big enough fandom that characterization is a very malleable, amorphous thing anyway. One of the main characters in my OTP is someone who, as I see it, would never want kids. Yet people feel no reticence about writing him as someone who can't wait, not just to have kids, but to bear them himself (which is yet more OOC). And for that matter, how many female characters in popular media choose to keep their baby, because the writers want a baby story line, when it would probably be more in line with their character for them to have an abortion?

So yeah, the whole "realism and characterization" argument cuts both ways. Myself, I tend to not be overly hung up on it. If the writer can make me want to keep reading, then it's all good. I think that's how most fic readers are.
