As to whether I'm making a straw man argument, I'll quote the following pro-life argument from the BBC web site.
Quote:Killing potential people is wrongKilling beings with 'a future like ours' is wrong
- it is wrong to destroy potential human life
- from conception onwards the foetus is a potential human being
- therefore it is wrong to destroy the foetus
- therefore abortion is always wrong
- it is wrong to kill beings that would have a future like ours if they lived
- in most cases the foetus, if not aborted, would have a future like ours
- it is wrong to kill such a foetus
- therefore abortion is usually wrong
