The morality that prioritizes unfeeling masses of flesh with no sense of identity over the end-result for living, breathing, sentient beings is backwards as fuck. Let the conscientous objectors raise a few of these unwanted mulatto crotchspawn if they want to stem the tide.
How about toddlers? They don't have a fully developed sense of identity until around three or so.

And what morality prioritizes in the manner you have described? Are you referring to the feelings of the mother relative to the life of an embryo? Or something more dire?
