Nice analysis, but you missed one point:

Or he doesn't think that matters, putting the life of
the partially-born (which would be miserable and
short without a mother, especially if one averages in
the factors that usually correlate with a birth that
endangers the mother) on equal status as the life of
the mother (which might be much better, not to mention
longer, without the presumably unwanted child -
presumably, since she's getting an abortion anyway).
