I still think it's a pretty easy slope to stop sliding down. Killing a baby to avoid considerable physical pain and personal danger? Fair. Killing a baby to avoid paperwork? Not fair. If factors like having to pay to give a baby up for adoption become an issue (I admittedly don't really know how it works in the US), creating barriers that cause people to feel that infanticide is their only option, then the delineation becomes a bit harder, but that's an issue that's solved by removing those barriers.

Basically, after birth, the mother's bodily autonomy stops being an issue (at least, not in a way that's relevant here). The mother's bodily autonomy is the core issue behind the abortion debate, so if that's taken away from an otherwise-analogous situation, there's no longer room for debate in that case.
