After reading your post again I think this is actually a fascinating question.
Say with the advancement of technology we can take the fetus from a mother at 6 weeks, and help advance it along in the 'pregnancy' through machines or whatever else until it is born. Do we then outlaw abortion? The legal argument of the fetus being able to survive without the mother and therefore being its own distinct life would almost apply, and at best because the mother has no interest in keeping the baby, should the state be able to take it from her?
The over population or whatever other stupid argument won't hold much water either, because at that time we are probably going to be a multi planetary species in desperate need of more people.
