One of the most prominent fences bisecting political philosophies; this is a good litmus test to separate left and right. With the death penalty and war justification, you might think exceptions for advocating the destruction of life would fall into the conservative camp, but it's not difficult to find the right answer to this question when you follow these rules: 1) Life is a wonderful gift that can't be taken away... unless you do something wrong, 2) Since brains aren't required for life, a heartbeat is enough.
Everyone loves (other people's) puppies and children, so why is it hard to understand that once a child has a beating heart you would be an Indian giver to take it away. If you think the child might be evil or deformed, you have the option of making it someone else's problem. If no one wants to care for it, then god's will can be decided by sending it to war or death row.
If there was a puppy growing in your tummy, you wouldn't destroy it.
