Pro-Life Atheists

[Whateverist]

Well, science tells us that the life of a distinct living human being is there at conception. But I am a vegan, pro-universal healthcare, anti-war etc. etc. as well.

I'm pro-universal healthcare and anti-war but I'm for a vastly smaller human population so that those who remain can justify living high enough on the food chain to justify eating meat.  I'm also pro-autonomy, pro-maximizing personal freedom and pro- a woman's right to self determination and bodily integrity.  So while I'm nominally pro-life on an individual basis I'd be fine with a draw down of human biomass.  Every abortion helps.

After you take away the religious and political aspects of the topic, is there still a potential moral dilemma?

I would say yes, to an extent. For instance, if we get to the point that we can know that the fetus can experience pain during the procedure after a certain point of development, should that not raise at least some ethical questions?

It *my bolded* already does raise moral questions, questions best left to every unexpectedly pregnant woman to decide.
