There is enough substantive difference between the termination of a growing, genetically-unique human life-form and a adulterous encouter for each to be looked upon differently by the law.

I've often wondered about that "genetically-unique" qualifier. Does that mean that you wouldn't object to the abortion of (n - 1) of n-tuplets? They all have the same genotype...

Completely fair question. I used a reference to genetics to suggest that the fetus is not 'part' of the mother in the same sense way a tooth or a mole is.

In any way that my statement is not "technically correct" and may create an "opening" for your exception as provided is purely my mistake.
