By this standard a woman's body itself is the biggest killer of all time. As much as a third of all pregnancies abort themselves for all kinds of different reasons.
Also by this standard any kind of artificial insemination is abhorrent as well since many more than a single egg is fertilized, and most will be wasted since they usually have to do it many times to get one implanted. So by this standard anyone who's had an artificially inseminated child has killed dozens if not hundreds of humans.

Natural abortion is the consequence and trade-off of being human. Medical science can only prevent this in so many ways. I would also be against artificial insemination. I don't know why these two views can't be concurrent.

This is just an appeal to emotions.. you can't take something away from someone who doesn't exist yet. Otherwise you would also have to argue against contraception since a condom takes away the chance for a life to begin.

Although some would disagree, an emotional appeal is a central part to the morality of this debate. Human life can't be measured in utilitarian terms.
