I mainly want to make sure that we keep it illegal to kill babies that are outside the womb and completely separated from the mother's body, because if we start allowing that, I don't know what's going to stop us from getting used to killing babies of a certain age, thinking that killing babies a little older can't really be that bad, until we're killing kids who are 5 years old or more. Regular abortion also has the potential to develop into that, but at least there you can say that abortion is different because pregnancy is so burdensome that a woman should always be able to opt out of it, which obviously doesn't apply once the baby is born.
