No. It is not the only reason, as a matter of fact there are very few instances in which money is the driving factor behind any given abortion. Despair, lack of God in ones life, mis-information, convenience…those are more common.
But everything or in this case a decision to abort is not driven by money.

Actually, I think a better question would be: Which is more evil; abortion or taxes? Most real Republicans will say that there is nothing worse than taxes.

Girl’s suicide linked to Philippines poverty
*MANILA (AFP) - A girl aged 11 hanged herself in a Philippines shanty after leaving a letter and diary depicting a life in rampant poverty, newspapers here reported Thursday.
The case put a human face to poverty blighting the nation, where nearly 14 percent of the 87 million population live on less than a dollar a day even as the government says the economy is on a roll.
“I suspect she did it because of our situation,” the girl’s father, Isabelo Amper, was quoted in the Philippine Daily Inquirer as saying.
In a letter found under her pillow after Mariannet Amper’s death, she said she only wished for a bicycle, bag, new shoes and jobs for her parents so she could finish primary school.
“I just want to finish studying and to buy a bicycle,” she wrote in the letter, which was addressed to a television programme that grants wishes to viewers.
An accompanying diary revealed the girl, whose family live in a shanty that has no running water or electricity, felt she had been absent from school for more than a month.
In one entry, she wrote: “We weren’t able to go to church because we didn’t have any money for transport and my father had a fever so my mother and I had to wash clothes for money.”
The night before she killed herself, according to reports, she asked her father for 100 pesos (about two dollars) for a school project, but he did not have any money.*
Her father said he had been out of a job for several months while his wife works part-time at a noodle factory, earning less than a dollar a day.
The story was reported on the day President Gloria Arroyo told a business forum that her economic reforms were bearing fruit.
“The common people are now feeling the benefits of a growing economy,” she said, releasing one billion pesos to boost “hunger mitigation programmes.”
However, the respected Social Weather Stations (SWS) institute found in a recent survey about nine million Filipino families rate themselves poor, the majority of whom live in the southern Philippines.
Many of those also experienced “severe hunger” in the past three months, it said.
Anti-poverty coalition the Global Call for Action Against Poverty said its own studies showed the nation’s economic growth was not trickling down to the ordinary people, and urged the government to do more.

Poverty doesn’t kill ANYONE. I feel sorry for this girl but POVERTY didn’t kill her - a warped sense of what is most important in life led her to commit suicide. In short - she killed herself. She may have been raised to think that money was what was most important.
Poverty DOESN’T kill babies, teenagers OR adults.
Money corrupts more people than poverty.
Money makes more people miserable than poverty.
On the other hand - abortion kills - PERIOD.
MOST abortions aren’t caused by poverty, but by a warped sense of CONVENIENCE.
MY heart bleeds for the millions who have been murdered by abortion.

Suicide is almost always due to clinical depression – which is a disease with a physical cause. Pre-pubescent children are quite susceptible – and affluent kids commit suicide at about the same rate as poor ones.
Bottom line, this child, rest her soul, killed herself because of her mental condition, not because of her economic condition.
Let us pray for her.

What do you think led to her depression?
The hopelessness of their situation. Poverty for short.

A chemical imbalance in the brain, aggravated by the hormones normal to her time of life.
Wrong.

Again - you are generalizing. Poverty leads to misery and abortion - SOMEtimes.
Abortion is largely a matter of convenience vs. inconvenience.
There are those who CHOOSE to live in poverty.
And, as I stated before - there is MUCH more corruption that is caused by wealth than poverty.
Abortion, on the other hand is ALWAYS about killing, and therefore is MUCH worse than poverty.

Depends on which item in the party line you’re pushing.
If you’re attacking the people who create jobs for the rest of us, Big Business, then it’s “extreme wealth.” If you’re attacking the pro-life position, it’s “poverty.”

None of they physiological causes applies to her situation. Its rather obvious that this was Sociopsychological:
*Life experiences
Job loss, poverty, financial difficulties, gambling addiction, eating disorders, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, rape, divorce or the end of a committed relationship, involuntary celibacy, inability to have proper sex or premature ejaculation or other traumatic events may trigger depression. *
