Interestingly, that point also applies to the effects on animals! Most of the animals who would suffer due to preventing the death of a newborn do not yet exist at the time the newborn was saved. Like you, I totally disagree with this kind of reasoning. Suffering is bad even if the action which led to it happened before the suffering being came into existence.
