Nice attempt at a dodge. But if it is not yet a person, then there should be no reason to feel upset or it to be a hard decision. If the fact that it is even a "potential person" (your words) and it makes it a difficult decision, then that means that the fetus has value as a human being and just NOT killing it would mean it would have a normal life. That you are preventing an entire life from happening by killing a fetus. That you are killing a human being, a person.
If a woman kills her teenager, she is not killing an adult human being, but she is preventing him from becoming an adult and having a life and his own children. If a woman kills an infant, she is not killing a teenager, but she is preventing him from even becoming a teenager or an adult. It is even more tragic because his life has barely begun. If a woman kills her fetus, it doesn't even get to become an infant, or a teenager or an adult. she has prevented his entire life on earth. It is the most tragic of all.
