If you say the fetus is a person at 5 weeks, I don't know how you could get around it being murder, or at the very least, manslaughter to remove a potentially viable fetus from the mother if it doesn't survive.

Premature birth is not necessarily fatal, but it often is.  There is a huge difference in survival rates between 24 and 26 weeks, which is part of what makes that area so gray.  Premature birth also can potentially have long term negative consequences.

Hmm, I wasn't aware the consequences were so long lasting.  I wonder if it's proven that these problems are effect and not cause of the prematurity.  I have heard that many miscarriages are "caused" by there being something seriously wrong with the fetus, but I don't know much about that either.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
