Abortionists: Are pregnant/non-pregnant women equally or disproportionately valued in terms of life?

For example: Two women are walking down the street when a man jumps out with a gun. You witness this and negotiate. The armed man is crazed but will allow one woman to live at the cost of the other dying.

Theoretically, at this point, both women have a 50/50 chance of surviving.

But one woman is pregnant. The other is not. And you have to make the decision or both will die. Who will you save?

There are certain twists: Should you save the pregnant woman, she will later continue her walk to her scheduled abortion. She is poor and makes bad choices in life.

Should you save the other, she changes the world. She is rich and successful.

Factors to consider:

Financial state

Future Positive/Negative influence

Pregnancy

Which women is worth saving that you will save?

Do the above factors take priority over the pregnancy or vice versa? As in, do you consider the actual women or the fact that one is pregnant making the other factors irrelevant?

Remember, from the perspective of an abortionist, the fetus is a clump of cells, parasitic and might possibly grow up to be a detriment to society due to a poor family situation.

If the life of the fetus doesn't matter, you're purely judging by the women.

If you're simply judging by the women, pregnancy is irrelevant and both women are valued equally. The death of the pregnant woman is no worse than the death of the non-pregnant woman.

Please and thanks for answers made to the best of your abilities.

    To be fair, your scenario is too simplistic. You have to consider much more circumstances than that as you don't know the history behind the woman's pregnancy. Would you keep a child if it was a rape, if the child was badly disabled, of the child was a medical threat for the mother?

    There's no Manichaean answer to give here.

    Who tells you the rich and successful will change the world? Yeah, rich stinking ambitious shits have changed the world, for the worst.

    Who tells you that little baby isn't going to change the world?

    So, to answer your question, there's no debate for me. I wouldn't negotiate the life of one against the other as a pretext to throw my beliefs on abortion.
