I'm very familiar with this one best comeback I've heard was from Hitches about how the next Stalin might also be aborted or worst carried to term
As for the rest your second point mostly reflects my own position (thou the question of personhood is still vague) And the question of pain is another . Abortion is a complex issue despite what morons like Pool seem to think.
The argument is also specious from the (Christian) believers viewpoint too, which makes it all the more curious when a (supposed) believer advances it.
The body, of course, is responsible for nothing; achievements, sin, pleasure, evil, work, NADA. The immortal soul, after all, is where the action is. And abortion of any stripe will not impede an immortal soul from eventually inspirating whatever viable human form it encounters. So, the next Lenin, or Lennon if you will, is not prevented in any way, the destined soul will nevertheless lodge appropriately and the rest of us will either share in it's achievements or it's disasters. And as a son (or daughter) of Adam, that soul will eventually find it's reward or eternal torment, no matter what.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
