Choosing to abort is not an abdication of responsibility. A woman finds herself pregnant and she must choose. Does she keep a child she can't support, possibly impoverishing herself and this child and all the problems that come to a child with such a background? Does she give her child up to a foster system which might never find a home for this child, thereby condemning this child to a life of lessened opportunity? Does she place that child with an adoptive family whose morals and values she can't be sure of? Or does she terminate during the first trimester, when the cluster of cells has no the least semblance to humanity, can't suffer, and is most likely to miscarry anyway?
More than that the idea still puts the life of the woman as less than the zygote. I find this odd, and I can't understand it. Why is the life and well being of the woman less important than the cluster of cells?
