Avram in MD:

Therefore, I don’t think we should be using the halachic argument regarding fetal status with respect to the mother as a cover for the secular/pro-choice position.

I would think that first you would have to prove that the Torah gives any care to the life of a fetus more than the monetary interest that it’s father might have in it.
