I've always felt that saying "this is a copout" without explaining why it is a copout, is a copout.
A copout is avoiding commitment or responsibility. Your position isn't a committed position. You position is an attempt to absolve yourself from the moral culpability of being part of that group which clamors, "yes it is okay to kill that human being".

Whether or not you're convinced. It is a fact.
It may be a fact that the baby had to die, but it is not a fact that it had to be killed.
