Pro-aborts are very good at making bad arguments. But some pro-life arguments are bad too. For example, some pro-lifers point to the 50+ million babies murdered since Roe v. Wade and say something like:
How many Einsteins have we killed? We may have killed the scientists who would have cured AIDS or Alzheimers.

Of course, a pro-abort could simply retort “How many Jeffrey Dahmers, Adolf Hitlers and Charles Mansons have we stopped?” And that would be a good response because it exposes the ridiculousness of that pro-life statement.
When pro-lifers talk about “the Einsteins killed”, they give in to the false idea that our value is dependent on something we do. The janitor’s right to life is weaker because his abilities are not valued as highly as the star athlete’s abilities. Our right to life becomes based on how others perceive us. Isn’t that the pro-abortion slogan that our value is based on being “wanted”?
This "Einstein" argument is irrelevant because a bum begging for change has just as much human value as a scientist on the edge of discovering new life-saving technology. An unborn baby’s value is not based in what she may or may not accomplish for society or how others feel about her. Our value is intrinsic. Human rights belong to each us by virtue of our existence as human beings.
