Hurney, you talk a lot about objectivity, but why then are you so blinded by emotion?
It doesn't matter if the foetus has all the genetic matter to code a human being. I feel as much for the lump of cells growing in a woman's uterus as I would for the skin cells , I don't cry every time I scratch my arm or mourn the loss for the cells I shed every day.
And about absolute moral, what on earth is that? Morals are a concept based on the culture you're from, so you'll get a different set of explanations about what it is from every single person you ask. Why should his morals matter the most to you? To have a child full-term is a huge responsibility. Parenting is a serious issue and by the look of kids today, parents aren't doing too good a job. To make the horrible decision that you don't want to give birth to your child might be the wisest decision to do. A child deserves a comfortable home with stable parents, not all who are pregnant are able to offer this. Adoption might be a choice, but this planet is over-crowded as it is already, why bring more mouths to feed to this world?
If by screening it's found that the child will be in any way deformed, I do not judge those who decides to terminate. Serious ilnesses are taxing for the parents, cost society loads and no to mention how it may affect the one with the disability.
Not to mention those whose life is at risk, are too young, rape victims etc.
I'm definetely pro-abortion, but that doesn't mean that I would have an abortion if I got pregnant by accident. I just like the to have the choice.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
