When is abortion morally right or wrong?

Is abortion only proper in "extreme" cases like risk to life or health of the mother, rape or incest, or serious fetal deformity? Is terminating a healthy but unwanted pregnancy morally wrong? Is it an evasion of responsibility for the known consequences of one's actions?

This is not my question, but i want to add a qualifier: dont talk about the political right to an abortion, which we all agree with, but with the morality of having an abortion. under what circumstances is having an abortion moral, and what principles apply?
