Well, I am no fan of abortion but the answer that would be given is probably that life does not begin at conception but at viability. Beyond the moral question, the law is clear and unequivical that within the first trimester a woman has the right to have this procedure. It cannot be forced on her but it is her right.

Therefore, a woman who makes a concious choice about her own body in the first trimester is not "torturing"
a living being, but making a decision on a legal surgical procedure. Some would say the procedure does not affect life, but an undeveloped embryonic cellular mass.

Not promoting it, but that is the argument.

And it is legal. So, until the law changes, no defense of torture of the unborn is required.
