The idea that we shouldn’t abort anyone just in case we lose a future great leader, or scientist, or artist, has a superficial appeal but is obviously ludicrous.

How many brilliant people were lost in the world wars, or in the wars against Iraq? Surely some; and yet I doubt the anti-abortion lobby would suggest we refrain from all warfare just in case.
