I dont think You know what homicide means.
As to your “questions”:
“”is it their duty” if the child is defective,” no
“what if the child is merely inferior,” They should speak to a super qualified posek. not a politician, which is what simcha said.
“what about adults who being old and disabled have no potential for further accomplishments and are just “eaters” rather than producers, “
what about them? Are you asking if retroactivly they could have been aborted?
“what about groups of persons who accomplish little in life but consume many resources and may in fact be a burden due to low productivity and high criminality …. “
again whatabout them/ Though
I am willing to bet you do favor the apital punishment for those with “high criminality” (at least in some cases) Correct me if Im wrong. Though that can hardly be called “pro-life”

“You can support the abolition of abortion with exceptions,”
Its harder than you think. The catholic church (as a group) oppose all abortions. period. and if a fetus is a “life” as in “pro-life” why SHOULD there be exceptions? (we have a more nuanced view where it isnt a full life, (according to most poskim) and thus can be aborted in certain limited cases) but the “most americans” you refer to havent given it much thought.
