Etc...

My point wasn't the conclusion, it's that the question wasn't even raised
in order to get answered.

You raise valid answers, and I presume a teshuvah would likely provide
them. But here the question isn't asked, which to me suggests the
possibility it doesn't exist. There are sevaros behind the issur of
abortion other than retzichah. If knows what RSZA and RYSE mention in
their discussions of abortion, we could resolve if that's why the topic
is absent here.

Tir'u baTov!
