Whether they will live and go through life like you did, or just disappear. Things might have gone better for you if you didn't have a child but they still deserve a shot at life. Abortion is final and I know people will be filled with more grief if they just ended the pregnancy right there instead of actually letting the baby grow up and see if life would be good to it.

You rather the child go through the adoption process (which is a problem in and of itself)? There are already tons of children being put up for adoption everyday. Why add to the problem? This falls into an abortion debate, and I don't want to offend anyone with my views, but to me, it's clearly a viable option.
As for the "knowing" on measures of grief, you can't know how each person will react. Some may be more relieved with an abortion, others may not be. It's all on the individual and no two cases are ever the same.
