Would you apply this "argument" to infanticide, how about sati, how about slavery, how about murder?
You're completely glazing over the question of of whether abortion is moral by assuming it is, the concluding what you've just assumed and pretending this constitutes an argument.
I was commenting on his arguments and his hypothetical Utilitarians, not giving my own arguments.
I don't have much of an issue with early term abortions. Having a steak or a hot dog seems more problematic, and I do both, with relish. Literally, with the hot dog.
Later term abortions are morally a problem, but so is nationalizing a woman's womb. Moral questions don't always have tidy feel good solutions. All in all, I'll go with letting the woman choose no matter the state of development of the fetus.
