Abortion is always a contentious subject and there is no one rule or principle to rule them all (otherwise you'd be an Autocrat)
Where a fetus is "Alive" or just "potentially alive" might seem like the point, but I'd say you are way off the mark.
What exactly is a "Potential" human? You might push the moralist rationality... they might achieve greatness, they might fullfill just a mediocre role, you might get mugged by them in the future. To be honest the true powers at play
do not care what role or potential that offspring has.
They (the money orientated power behind a majority of the problems) do not see a baby in the womb, they see $$$ and when a woman terminates a fetus for whatever reason, they see a whole bunch of money flushed down the toilet that "they were potentially entitled to". They don't care about the fetus or the woman.
How I mean is lots of money is spent on looking after infants.
- The expensive in crappy plastic toys that litter the world
- Specific dietry requirements (Baby formula etc)
- The cost in regards to visitation to clinics for regular checkups
- Child entertainment (Based on what fad is relevant at the time period)
- Expensives in schools
- Crappy happy meals (Fast food culture)
- The need for the parents to save money for such things as college
- The "Potential" to force both the parents and the child (when grown up) into a spiralling debt cycle where they just keep borrowing to pay off what they borrowed.

Children are the GDP's crutch.
