I think I agree with all of that, except that "destroying fetuses" sounds like "destroying" animals. With animals, I perceive "destroying" as a sign that the speaker feels that their death is potentially wrong and therefore must be cloaked in abstract language. I haven't noticed anyone talking about "destroying" ants or wasps or other things whose death is generally not considered problematic.

So I'd rather just say "killing fetuses" straight off.
