It is in fact not the case that you will die in the absence of my affection or patronage. Nor, for that matter, is your continued existence predicate on criminalizing my refusal to support you.
This places the two people involved in an abortion in a very different sort of relationship than you and I, or you and I and all the rest of humanity. However, since we're talking about the rest of humanity, we often find it morally acceptable to kill other adults. If the relationship between a fetus and a mother and all of humanity to itself were the same, which it isn't, that would only add further support to the contention that abortion either was or could be moral and most definitely should remain legal.
Take castle doctrine. You can shoot an adult human being, dead, in your house (or your car, probably your clothes next). He's only there to avail himself of some of that sweet, sweet co-dependence - just like a fetus. If you didn't want intruders, you shouldn't have bought a house. What kind of monster does it take to kill him?
