"Ancient": I'm glad you admit you base life and death choices upon the dark ages. So glad you've insulated your morals and ethics from scientifically enlightened postures likes ultrasounds and basic human fetal development.
So, if you're a blind mom of a 1-week old...and if she's never initiated a kick or touch w/ya, I guess she's fair game for the garbage heap: See no baby, hear no baby, feel no baby=is no baby, eh?
Nice arbitrary standards in place. I can imagine it now, you having a convo w/your 13 yr old grand(son/daughter) {baby mentioned by you}: "Yup, I told your Mom that once she felt you kick, you were worth loving. But up until then, well, Chip, I just wanted you to know that I subcribe to a theory of A.M.T. (arbitrary magical transformation). You see, you weren't really Chip until you were strong enough to kick so that your Mom could feel you."
Personally, I would execute my daughter for bringing shame upon my family.
Abortion? My daughter is very lucky she was not born 2,000 years ago!
Paterfamilias: The head of the family unit. His right to do as he pleased with the members of his family unit was rigidly protected by the laws of the Roman State.
