Yes, the idea that poor women horrifically abuse unwanted children is a very strange way of justifying access to abortion. Of course there are many cases of terrifying abuse, but one has no right to jump to the assumption: "This is what poor women do to unplanned children, they starve them to death etc." This idea reflects the way the poor are often perceived by affluent people.
People who abuse children don't do it because of lack of access to abortion. In fact, there are horrific cases of parental child abuse even in countries where women have had access to free abortion for many years.
