Ilavenil in both cases you mentioned the aspect of the case's ability to stand in court. Though the perspective is of practical relevance the issue is extraneous to the ethical argument. If I understnd right you consider it unethical in either case, as parents live with guilt. More precisely , you say the child can question the mother even in the second scenario:

I say (ok, Peter Singer says) NO. This situation is radically different from scenario A. Try guessing the underlying argument.
Because if you buy this logic it takes the abortion,contraception debate to a new level.
I'll let it lie for a day or two for other hubbers also.
