I think your analysis here and in your other postings is right on the money. It is hard to justify the fetus being a precious human being in one case and just so much medical waste in another.
I guess I am still in favor of a woman's right to abort, even though we have the above dilema. However I can't help thinking that people in the future may look back at us and say " those people were such barbarians, killing all those helpless unborn children just because they were inconvenient".
