Oh well. Can't force you to give me a straight answer. I'll look at harry's instead.

A) It's not wrong to prohibit a means to a legitimate end when the means is insufficiently justified. You shouldn't thwart a pickpocketer by killing him, to use an extreme example. If a woman could escape a pregnancy without killing a human being, or if the justification was sufficient (i.e. saving her life), then it would be wrong to "force a woman to carry a child".
B) Yes, it's not a viable being yet. So?
