So, the idea is that a fetus has a potential 'future like ours' or 'valuable future' and should not be deprived of it. But such an argument has implications:
> It has to take into account the general populace. Outside the realm of the European Union and Western liberal democracies, majority cases of pregnancy have complications due to reasons like the lack of medicine, proper health care, awareness and lack of planning in many developing countries. To quote WHO "In 2015, an estimated 303 000 women will die from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth. In addition, for every woman who dies in childbirth, dozens more suffer injury, infection or disease." That means around 4 million women will suffer health wise. What's happens is the happiness, quality of life, health, economic stability and even ability to get proper nutrition of a woman is put under serious jeopardy due to unplanned pregnancy especially in developing countries
>In many cases a lot of fetuses don’t even reach infancy. And even if they make it to birth, they grow up in poor conditions, poverty, disease, war and bad quality of life.
> We have something that doesn’t even exist in the present moment and the certainty of its valuable future (a bright and good one) is not that bright, can we then say that in this case a woman’s right to happiness, comfort, health, economic stability, and the fetus's right to not have a bad life > right to life of the fetus?
