If we're talking about possibilities, when you kill anything you don't just kill "more than seventy" years of life. You kill many, many, more. Evolution, for example, would allow for these species to to have the possibility of developing into highly advanced species. Considering humans aren't actually special in any way, and the probability goes for anything, I don't see the need.

The simple truth is if one life is going to harm another, and that is completely avoidable, then it should be avoided. Horrificly deformed so the child won't live long at all? You can save a lot of pain by stopping the process. Mother won't survive the process? That can be avoided. Parents don't have the capabilities to raise a child? No one wants to be forced to put their child into foster care, and the parents will probably hold on for as long as they can; worsening their position, and not helping the child at all. If even, say, two tears were allowed, a much safer position could be found.
