There's a very interesting discussion at a variety of pro-choice blogs (Sufficient Scruples, Unified View Philosophy, Etc. ) regarding whether it is morally permissible to take drugs (such as thalidomide) during a pregnancy (which will end in birth) knowing those drugs will have an exceptionally negative effect of the child.
All three blogs hold the position that a human fetus in first-trimester isn't a person (and therefore killing them is morally permissible) yet come to different conclusions about whether it's morally permissible to harm a child intended for birth. Serge takes the time to comment on some of the arguments made.
