I was going to mention newborn babies, since they are so dependent on others, but you're right there with me. I chose not to since, like you said, they won't die instantly.
Alright, so we've established that the zygote/embryo/early fetus is not capable of survival outside of the woman. If it is alive within her, taking it out would cause the death of it. So you're depriving it of life? If you're taking it out and causing it's death, when it would have otherwise still been alive, is that not killing?
This isn't really a point I was intending to make or even thought of earlier, but the life/inside -> death/outside made it come to mind
Nah, I'm not talking about a procedure to remove the organism, I'm making reference to some magical method whereby it is somehow outside the host, and only to facilitate that, as it is incapable of independent existence, it isn't really alive.
Extenuating circumstances aside, I wouldn't advocate abortion, especially not of my own offspring. But neither do I believe that the ability to make this choice should be taken away.
