If a child is conceived, it is not a usurper, it is the most innocent party involved. When people have sex, they risk conceiving a child. This new human being is created in the woman's body, the place designed to host it. So unlike my hooking up to your bloodstream, the baby's dependence on you is perfectly natural. The two things aren't equivalent. I have no claim to you (plus you probably aren't responsible for my condition - not that the child is dying, nota bene). Besides, can you kill an infant in your home so that you don't have to feed them before foster care can take them? I support your choice to abstain from sex. I do not support your choice to end the life of your child just so that you don't have to provide for them. To deliberately cause death of an innocent human being is not a right. Unless the child acts with an intention to kill the parent, the parent may not use deadly means against them (Disclaimer: Even in self defense, one must not act with the intention to kill - see the principle of double effect)
