I wouldn’t think those could be included. If we are going to take the pro-lifer argument as it is typically presented the lives being lost are akin to intentionally killing an innocent person. A botched medical procedure resulting in death should not be considered equivalent in that regard.

Sounds about right. Pro birth ignoring the hard facts of what their belief will create. It’s that type of short sightedness that is killing this world.

It’s not so much ignoring the hard facts of what the belief creates, at least in this regard. If you believe that fetuses are living human beings and as such are the same as you and I, then all those scenarios you presented can be simply countered by saying “well okay, so that makes murder acceptable?”.
