Davis points out a number of differences between abortion and clear-cut cases of self-defense:

The fetus is neither an aggressor nor an assailant. There is no wrong doing on the part of the fetus. The woman may have voluntarily become pregnant. She may bear some responsibility for her predicament. In most cases the woman does not perform the abortion on herself. She contracts for a third party to perform it.
