Answer
(Fatwa: 1321/1061=L=1430)
The reason you mentioned to abort the child is not enough. It is written: If a woman is not able to look after child due to mental illness or physical disabilities, then also it is not allowed to use any contraceptive method; since managing nurture of the child should be born by father. (Hashiyah Nizamul Fatwa 1:379)
