Therefore, killing a fetus with no future and no moral status is a wholly amoral act – there is nothing wrong or right about it because the futureless fetus has no moral status.

Well I said, do you see the problem? Problem? Yes with your circular thinking and logic that basically gives the mother all of the power to decide whether or not the child, the separate individual, growing in her womb has moral status.

So moral status doesn’t depend on whether or not you are aborted, it depends on whether or not you have a future, which ultimately depends on whether or not your mother decides to have an abortion. Hmmmmmmm
