Awareness is a nonissue as it's arguable newborn infants are unaware.
The chief difference is that newborns are capable of surviving outside of the mother. Therefore there is never an either/or question about the woman's right to her own body or the infant's right to life.
For a fetus, that dichotomy does exist.
