Most of these are laughable, but this one's actually logical. A mentally developed kid suffers a lot more from dying than an unconscious wiggle-worm in the uterus. Plus a kid has already had time and energy invested towards growing them into a productive person. Nipping a fetus at the bud isn't wasting any stock of effort. And if you want to cry about the great person that the baby might have been, then you can go breed a hundred new ones. There's no shortage of sperm and eggs in the world.

yay! I was able to create controversy via liberal hypocrisy!
