There are many many parts of the world where people cannot be happy.
Happiness in life < Life
As for the legality of abortion, I don't think the practicality of outlawing or in the very least, regulating abortion tips the scale over. I have demonstrated how I think it's unethical, and I'm surprised by the lack of such analyses in political discussions about this topic.

I think goal requires intent, and thus only applicable to sentient beings. 'Life' is no more a goal of the fetus than 'eruption' is a goal of the volcano. "Function" is a more fitting term.
New life is a biological function of the fetus, whereas finding a more suitable father is a goal.

In the end,I view the fetus as a bunch of genetic information that is of no signafance unless it develops.Therefore,killing it is not unethical.
While,you have a different perspective and I respect that.
Sorry for the random quote.

Sure. I'll concede that. Though, my point still stands that I think natural functions that lead to an effect should be as protected as that effect.
