Yay, more fallacies! The moral worth and value of a human being is not based upon the how in which they came into existence.
Imagine that we line up 3 adults. 1 of the adults came into existence VIA 2 loving and married parents. The 2nd adult came into existence by a single mother who had a one night stand and didn't use proper protection. The 3rd adult came into existence because his mother was raped.
If the question was then posed - Do any of these adults possess more inherent moral worth and value because of how they came into existence? The answer would obviously (or at least it should obviously), be no.
The morality of abortion doesn't rest with the how in which a human being came into existence. Either humans are morally valuable and posses inherent moral worth from fertilization, which is when they begin their existence - or not.
I've never yet to see an objective argument laid out which was logically valid that suggested that human beings somehow grow into moral worth and value. We either have it or we don't.
Last I checked the US Constitution forbids involuntary servitude. You don't think that forcing a woman to carry the seed of her attacker to term against her will is involuntary servitude?
