Killing that unique human being is no different than killing a newly born human. If you can justify killing a human immediately after it comes into existance, you should equally well be able to justify killing a newborn, or a human at any other stage of its life. The argument about brain developement is groundless...what if you were, for some reason, rendered comatose for a week, but capable of complete recovery after that week. Is it OK for someone to kill you because your mind isn't currently functioning? Someday we will find all of the present-day pro-abortion rationalizations as hard to believe as the Hitler death camps...he had his rationalizations too, you know.
