Have you ever even had the slightest thought of killing somebody?

People who are pro life are against killing babies.  That has nothing to do with killing baby killers... right before they are going to kill more babies.

 

Ok, lets look at your stance though... and show where real inconsistancy is.  According to you, an unborn child isn't a person... therefore it's ok to abort a baby up to...and including right before birth.

Even though there is absolutely no difference in an unborn "thing" 5 minutes before it's born, and 5 minutes after it's born, outside of location.

 

As for me?  A fetus becomes a child as soon as it develops brainwaves.  It's what we use to decide when to end a human life so it makes sense that this would be what we would use to suggest ones start.

This is usually between weeks 10-12.

 

Outside of the conception arguement, it's really the only consistant arguement out there.  It's not like it's something science will ever be able to definitivly prove anyway though.

If you don't value life as a whole, why would you care if "babies" are being "killed"? There's really no rational argument for saying that a baby's life is more important than an adult's life. If you don't view life as a whole as something that needs to be protected, then you have no business in being against abortions, on the account that "babies" are "killed" (not to mention that most of the "pro-life" crowd are Christians, and killing someone, anyone, is a sin in their religion).

The difference between an "unborn thing" 5 minutes before it's born, and 5 minutes after it's born is the same as the difference between an underage person 1 day before he or she turns 18, and day after he or she turns 18. Still, your "brainwaves" argument is good. I'm not an expert on the matter, as I don't study medicine or biology, nor have I read anything on this subject (terrible of me to have an opinion while being so uninformed, no?). Alas, these days, when people are becoming so "specialized" in certain fields of interest, you end uop relying on "experts" in a certain field to tell you what to think about something you're not directly investigating yourself.
