Yes we are. That's the thing you are missing. Up to 40% of fetuses are aborted biologically by a woman's body.
You can't say that's going to be a person.
My cousin experienced a stillbirth with her first pregnancy.
If this shit is so important why aren't we directing billions of dollars into medical research to make sure no fetuses are discarded naturally by a woman's body?
It's not even a concern. Not even a blip on the radar. Why?

No we're not. We're talking about a possible human. Hey here's another possible human: If I impregnated you our possible child would be born and live for decades and do all kinds of cool things.
So we gotta do it. Because if we don't we're killing that possible person.

It would be robbing them of their chance at living for being a temporary inconvenience.
If you don't let me impregnate you, you are robbing our possible child at the chance of living. I know it's a temporary inconvenience for you to let me fuck the shit out of you numerous times. But for that child's sake you're just going to have to put up with it.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
