 From what I remember, it is not a problem, for them.

 From Bukhari (34:432)
Volume 3, Book 34, Number 432:

The part important is this
"No soul that which Allah has destined to exist, but will surely come 
into existence."

This tell us that any child born is born only because Allah will.
So, if they want, they can justify abort at any time before the birth.

They could justify an abort after the birth with a sura of the Quran:
18.65 to 18:81.
