Society has de facto decided that lives have different levels of moral value, and that it is ok to kill in some contexts. If you feel a fetus is not human, this averts the question, but even if a fetus is human you still can and should decide to whether they are moral to kill separately.
Personally, I don't think humans without subjective experience or memories are innately valuable, so I'm fine with killing them for convenience.
