that is an astonishingly arbitrary definition you have of what a human is.

i know what a fetus is, just as i know what a adult is. but what you are esentially saying is, im not a human, im an adult.

fetus= unborn baby human

baby= new born human

teen= young human

etc.

all human, all deserve to live.

Have you watched a woman give birth, and then watched the baby take their first breath and open their eyes for the first time? I have, and I can tell you that those moments represent a *huge* change.

Having witnessed that change, I believe that an unborn fetus is still a person-in-the-making, and that a born child is a person. I can understand how others might believe that personhood is achieved earlier, but I cannot understand how someone can believe that birth is just an "arbitrary" moment. It is a truly miraculous moment, and it's a huge change. Please tell me you understand that.

yes birth is miraculous, so is the child.

but you view is completely illogical.

baby exiting the birth canal, 1 millisecond away from being born = not human. therefore can be terminated, and discarded.

baby half way exits the birth-canal with head portruding = not human? half human? can be terminated and discarded.

baby has been born but hasnt taken its first breath and/or opened its eyes = ????
