That it doesn't feel pain yet... seemingly your only qualifier discounting it's humanity.. doesn't alter the fact that you're dealing with a unique human life. Ending that life prevents a human developing, and it began developing at conception, unless all of the science I reference is incorrect.
Your science is correct. Your logic that follows is what is faulty.
Until it has a brain, it isn't a being. Until it's a being, it isn't a being. If it's not a being, it doesn't have rights. Q.E.D.
So are you supportive of restrictions based on that premise, until it has a brain?
I personally thing there needs to be restrictions based on the principle of judging when it is wrong to destroy a being when it is a "being". Also, the lack of male representation in the choice of some kind and the apperent double standard is troubling, that however is another date.
