I like to remind these people that the success rate from zygote to blastocyst is around 50% meaning that over half of all conceptions end in miscarriage.
I never really found this to be a good argument, honestly. You could use the same logic to say that it's okay to commit murder because people die in accidents all the time. That success rate could be 100% and abortion would still be fine because a fetus isn't a person.
I agree. It's less an argument for abortion, and more an argument for ourselves to show that they don't actually care about the lives of the unborn.
