This could be argued against by saying that, in case of economic hardships, or instance, the damage to the Mother's future is certain. Her value filled, meaningful future is granted - and so is the detrimental effect that the foetus will have on it, once born. This certainty cannot be balanced by the UNCERTAIN value-filled future life of the embryo. Always, preferring an uncertain good to a certain evil is morally wrong. But surely this i...
