The 2 year old can exist separately from their parent. A fetus can't, in most abortion cases.
I don't see how this makes killing a 2-year old worse than killing an 8-month old fetus.
Let's keep separate these two things: the worthiness of the child to live, and the worthiness of the parent to have bodily autonomy. It seems to me that you're making the observation that the 2 year old does not violate the parent's bodily autonomy. Or are you asserting that because the child has independence, it is more intrinsically worthy to live?
