abort:
2 a : to terminate prematurely : CANCEL [abort a project] [abort a spaceflight] b : to stop in the early stages [abort a disease]
(thanks to m-w.com)

You wanna bet you can't be terminated prematurely?

New Sure, just re-classify me.
"2 a : to terminate prematurely : CANCEL [abort a project] [abort a spaceflight]
b : to stop in the early stages [abort a disease]"

Simple, just re-classify me as a "space flight" or "project" or somesuch.

Or, re-classify me as a disease.

Oh, I see now.

From you original post:
"OK, so why can't we abort you?"

Well, you CAN. But it is ILLEGAL.

"After all, you've developed continuously from the egg and sperm."

True.

"So where's the fundamental difference?"

That I am now outside the womb and viable on my own.

You see, in THIS culture, different rights are granted at different stages of development.

Example, a 5 year old cannot be legally killed without the court's permission, but that same 5 year old cannot legally operate a motor vehicle on the highway.

So, while you CAN "abort" me, that is termed "murder" by the court system.

Whereas terminating a pregnancy is called "abortion" and not "murder".

Now, do you understand?

Do you realize that I am no longer in a womb?

New Is this going to be another "definition"?
Some out-of-context usage of "viable"?

Whatever.
