Really where do you set the bar then? A heartbeat seems pretty arbitrary. At that point, they still have a pretty high chance of being a miscarriage, so you're not necessarily robbing them of anything.

How is my analogy terrible, it may well be that the parents are unfit, and that is truly unfortunate. Some people are unfit to be on the road, and they drive anyway, and they are responsible for their actions all the same. I would argue they should not be driving, I would not be saying it's OK for them to keep crashing as long as they clean up the mess they make.
I fail to see merit in your responses.

Except we don't make people stop having sex when they screw up, like we do when they suck at driving. It's apples to oranges. Driving recklessly endangers other people. ####ing recklessly endangers the only two involved. Until I see evidence that an aborted fetus is a sentient being, then I'm not considering it part of the equation. Hypotheticals regarding the potential of a fetus get much drearier when you look at the statistics surrounding children born to teen mothers.
