Why is it best FOR THE FETUS?
Who are we to decide that this fetus/person is better off dead than alive?
I assume this fetus/person is better off because we are sparing him/her a
potentially painful and difficult life.  If you assume this, then do you
also advocate killing those who make it out of the womb and then are
discovered to have severe birth defects?
