You have confused the proper word to use. Moral is more correct than ethical. Humans are not always subject to subjective ethics set by humans. Morality is much more basic, and is truly not set by humans. It is the inherent sense of right and wrong, or what is just. I can understand how you might confuse the two.
As for distorting my position, that is exactly what you are doing. Your entire argument is based on the premise that abortion is moral since I think that the death penalty or gun ownership is moral. You cannot separate the argument of abortion from other "traps" you set based on selected facts, otherwise your argument would lack any basis. Abortion is immoral, and that is a conflict that you are unable to resolve without trying to warp other moral arguments to make them fit.
I can argue the morality of the death penalty, gun ownership, and my anti-abortion stance. While the criminal justice system may not be perfect, the death penalty is moral. Justice is served when a murderer is put to death. Gun ownership, likewise, is moral. It is the immoral use of guns by individuals that is wrong, but that does not make guns, themselves, immoral. Being pro-life doesn't need much defense. A life is a life, and taking innocent life is wrong. No matter how you try to spin it.
The immoral person is the murder, the person who uses the gun for violent purposes, and the woman that kills an unborn child to avoid being responsible for her adult acts.
You would prefer that government protect these immoral victims, saying that it is not their fault. Your argument is devoid of any merit, as far as I can see.
