Then add in ancestral karma and one can see why karma is unfathomable. Because it's just about infinite! Anyway, the soul might choose such a situation to burn off some similar karma from a previous life. Seems reasonable to have high intentions, do our best and leave the rest up to the lords of karma.

Assuming the soul chooses the circumstances of its next life, why would it pick a mother who is going to abort?" : because the soul chose parents with the right genes and circumstances for its future progress but it couldn't know in advance that the mother would later freely choose to abort. OooooooK... As to karma having to be matched for both mother and fetus: I'd hate to have to do the balancing act required for that one to work out.
