I can't put my finger exactly as to why but his argument reminds me of that part in the book Catch-22 where one person argues that they don't believe in God because the world is so terrible and the other counters that they don't believe in God either - but they don't believe in a good and just God not in an evil and cruel God. Maybe it's because the logic seems to be that existence is terrible so we're doing the unborn a favor by saving them from it. Given the shortness of our time (something the author mentions) it seems like no great harm is done. And in any case wouldn't it be more fair to give the unborn the opportunity to make the choice of existence or not themselves?
