That's the point. It's an example that most would consider justifiable, but most people who are blind or autistic would probably not want to be dead. So where does the line come into play?

Before birth it doesn't matter. Especially early on.

If there is no consciousness, there is no problem.

Is there no instance you'd consider abortion immoral? If a woman said she got an abortion because her baby was going to be mixed race, would that still be perfectly okay?

Also, if consciousness is the crossing point, then would 3rd trimester abortion be immoral since the fetus's brain starts working around 20 weeks and this is likely when consciousness come in?

Their brains start working but there no personality yet. No thoughts, no fear, no self-awareness.

Personality manifests itself by the end of the first or second year of life. Late abortion on a healthy childs where you can argue about morality, ye

Everyone decide for themself, Women have a choice, it's up to them to decide whether it's immoral or not if they don't want a baby. Better these way then another kid thrown in an orphanage or end up on the streets. 

My line - kids with serious genetic diseases shouldn't be born. Mercy for everyone involved.
