Well, PG's logic doesn't work in the case of abortion. Occasionally a convicted felon is innocent. A fetus, however, is always a fetus.

Well, I guess you could have cancer that resembled being pregnant. I seriously doubt anyone would object to killing that, though.

For a fetus that is a fetus but that still needs to be aborted, see ectopic pregnancy (when the embryo attaches outside the uterus -- this is, "untreated", generally fatal to the mother).
