By that logic, there’s no need to ban beating your dog because you can simply _choose_ not to beat your dog.

We give the benefit of a safe life to dogs because beating them offers no benefit (and I should note that we _do_ allow putting them down when they're causing excessive harm).

The same doesn't hold for aborting a fetus, because that can be key to the mother's wellbeing. Whether the scale tips toward that of the mother or that of the fetus is the debate, and since it's not cut and dry, individual choice makes sense.
