United States should downsize the population by ending all immigration and creating incentives for having fewer kids.

Every pimple is exactly as unique and irreplaceable as an egg cell and a sperm cell. The human body is magical, it can just constantly produce new things and just as easily destroy them too. Not sure why something that can be reproduced without effort within a month would be called "irreplaceable".

A pimple is not a unique and irreplaceable human.

And the probability that a woman would remain fertile afterwards does not negate the intrinsic rights of a fetus to life.

A fetus isn't a human, that's why it's called fetus. It's a bunch of cells mushed together that literally any of the 7 billion humans can create out of nothing. It has no brain, no conscience and consists of less human cells than a pimple. I refuse to use that kind of low bar to define something as "human". It is a potential human, but so is every single sperm or egg cell. And we don't arrest all men for slaughtering trillions of potential humans on a regular basis.

Side note: Being unique doesn't make a thing suddenly essential to be preserved. So you can safely stop using that meaningless attribute to try and make your case seem more important than it is.
