My thoughts exactly. He must also then have the right to life.

Logically you're correct. In practice, this is nothing more than a warning that anyone who gives birth to an imperfect child is subject to punishment.

If every "inferior" fetus has a "right to be aborted" - which can result in punishment for parents who do not carry out the aborting - it is a de-facto mandate that every inferior fetus be aborted.

Think about it - there is no incentive to give life, only a punishment for giving life.
