I think one important thing to point out is the reason for most abortions. It usually isn't the mother's life. It is her convenience. This is the problem. You do not have the right to destroy even the potential for life, just becuase it isn't convenient for you to have a kid. If the mother's physical or emotional state is in jeopardy, then abortion is up to her. But abortion for convenience sake is a way to go without facing the consequences of choices.

Men and women can both decide how important life is, or even the potential for life. While men do not know the pains of child birth, women should think before they have sex with someone they don't want to have a kid with. Men are pigs often and don't care. It is the women's job to realize that, by making this choice, I could bring a kid into the world and cause myself pain. Men should think more, too, but unfortunately they don't see the responsibility.

As long as abortion is used to make life more convenient and make promiscuity easier, it will be morally wrong. Whether it destroys life itself or the potential for life isn't a question at all when "convenience" is involved. Potential for life overides the pain and inconvenience a person might experience. If you don't want the kid, let it live and try to find other parents for it.
