  1.  @Fearless.-  No one minds not being born.

  2.  @danijoy7665  Less human? No, obviously, human embryos, fetuses, babies, etc. are all human, to the same degree. There are no degrees of species. It's a matter of personhood, not species (nor life, for that matter). As for when the baby stage begins, that's at delivery. As for the ethical question of how late is too late for abortion, I can't put an exact time on it, but I know that it's long after virtually all (or entirely all) abortions happen. As for the DNA, I don't know why people bring that up all the time. Embryos and fetuses are in a quasi-parasitic relationship with the host organism, the pregnant woman. See what I wrote earlier about biological autonomy. Someone can presumably be found to take care of a newborn, but pregnancy is different. The decision goes to the woman and the relevant medical personnel. Nobody minds not being born. It's impossible to know or care or mind. As for your final paragraph, having an abortion is one option for what you call "consequences." Nobody says that that's the only choice, and I'm not sure what gives you that idea.

  4.  @Fearless.-  It would disappear. "No one giving birth" is hyperbolic.

  7.  @kathrynmcmorrow7170  For one thing, reflexive movements like that don't indicate personhood. For another thing, that's after the vast majority of abortions take place anyway.

  8.  @31terikennedy  *Who's. It seems selfish at best to bring someone into the world (who has no choice in the matter of being born) just to be your servant.

  9.  @danijoy7665  Embryos and fetuses don't have personhood, the criteria that make killing wrong: Sentience, the will to live, biological autonomy, and everything else that's taken away when a person is killed. In a rudimentary way, newborns have that. Embryos and fetuses don't/can't. There's no harm in not being born. No one minds.
