Picture a cruise liner or your home—when an invited guest, for whatever reason, becomes uninvited and asked to leave, if they refuse - they then become a trespasser. Removing them in the gentlest manner possible is the evictionist position. 

On a boat, be it stowaway, or uninvited guest, that means waiting to the next port. Throwing them overboard right then and there would be the Pro-Choice position. Forcing the property owner to take the stowaway the entire trip (9 months), is the Pro-Life position. The eminently reasonable and common sense position is to remove them at the next port of call.

Clarifying even further.. a cruise liner is on the trip for 9 months before it comes to a berth (pun intended). “Ports of call” are short stops on the way. Stowaway, invited guest now uninvited, whatever.. gentlest means possible.

The Tender (“In some ports the ship has to drop anchor some distance from shore. Tenders are covered boats that carry passengers to shore”) is the medical/technological aspect. They are involved in ferrying the person(/fetus) to safety. The risk involved in whether they make it or not (viable) depends on the technology etc. and obviously thus time.

So 100 years ago, ‘sinking’ happened all the time. 50 years ago the odds were better. Right now, (it’s probably 22weeks+ viable) and it continues to improve on avg. 1 week every 5 years in this statist environment. 100 years time, the “Tender” should make it every time. You evict at any point and the fetus remains viable. Even if you reject this, it’s a continuum problem, it’s a technological medical issue, the principle remains the same.
