If you take ANY living organism from the environment which it requires to live it will die. The fact that it dies is self-evident proof that it was alive. Just because it is powerless to save its own life when removed, does not mean it is not worthy of life. In most every other circumstance our society would consider such a helpless being as MORE worthy of protection, not less.

Those in favor of abortion can use whatever rational makes them able to live with themselves they want. However, for myself, I can see it as nothing but the legal murder of a completely innocent life. It isn't my place to tell others what they can or can't do, as long as it does not directly impact me, so I don't. but I am entitled to my opinion. Maybe some day technology will allow us to find a answer other than death to the problem of an unwanted pregnancy.
