12 week old fetus- a fully intact human life
12 week old fetus- a fully intact human life
Sorry, but that fetus is not intact! Its missing its umbilical cord, its placenta, and the woman the placenta is part of. Without those things it dies - just like how without air a person dies. Basic fucking biology.
Abortions are not the deaths of human beings. They are not the killing of "unborn children." They are not children, they are fetuses.
Some fetuses never become human, even after they are born.
Like you, for example.
Aren't you glad your Mom was not anti-life/pro-abortion like you?
This kind of comment only proves that you have no argument except to insult someone. The truth is that pro-choice people are kinder people, more human, not less, than those who are anti-abortion. We care about living human beings. We care about people. You don't. If you are so against abortion, how many children are you supporting, raising, who are unwanted? How many children without parents have you adopted? You are a complete hypocrite. You don't care about anything except a religious concept that causes nothing but suffering for the living.
I don't think I've ever heard Obama utter the words "God bless our service members" but he does it for a abortion provider..that is HOW FRIGGEN sick the man is
He makes me ILL
Fetuses are not children. If you don't mind we're going to use the definitions that the rest of the world uses. If you wanna make up your own language, fine, just don't expect anyone else to understand.

How's that using the definitions of the rest of the world going for you? Seems the rest of the world acknowledges that a child is a child before birth.

Nice link, BTW.
And sorry, but the rest of the world does not use Merriam Webster. That's an American dictionary. The rest of the world using an English dictionary actually published by the English, and they define child in this link:
Definition of child in Oxford Dictionaries (US English) (US)
So does your family hold a full funeral every time there's a miscarriage?

Nice to see that your link also does not mention anything about birth or breathing. But please explain how the magic of breathing completely transforms something from a nonperson to a person. Forget for the moment that the reason we need to breathe is because we need oxygen to live and the child in the womb also needs oxygen to live.
We may not have a funeral when there is a miscarriage (though I have seen it done) but we sure as hell mourn. A miscarriage is a life lost no less than any other death, and is all the more tragic because this life was never given a chance to reach its potential. My aunt suffered several miscarriages, and each was among the most heart-rending experiences that my family has had to endure. Thank you for bringing up such a painful topic.
If a miscarriage is sad, it is at least natural. Abortion is the intentional ending of a life. It is the severing of all the potential that that life had. A life that has committed no crime; done no wrong to any person. A life whose entire potential is ahead of it, and which life has had no opportunity to pursue its potential. I can think of no more evil act than that.
Wait toddlers aren fully developed.......ooops I guess it's just another stage in human micro evolution.....I wonder where it starts......

Its not merely breathing that distinguishes the fetal stage from the rest of life. Its also being attached to a human being through a shared organ and living inside that human being in a sack of fluid. This human being is called a "woman". It is not surprising that you would not even notice her, as so called "pro-lifers" seldom do.

Why would you assume that I do not notice the woman?
I am not saying that the woman does not have value,
but that her value does not trump the value of the other living human being.

So called "pro-lifers" never notice the woman unless its to say, implicitly or explicitly, that she is a slut.

That's awfully big of you! To admit women have some value as human beings, but there is a "but" isn't there?
but that her value does not trump the value of the other living human being.
That's exactly my point. You value the rights and life of a woman less than that of a fertilized embryo. That's just fucked up.
What is wrong about one person killing another? The person who is killed is deprived of the life they might have lead had they not been killed. That is why killing children is such a visceral evil to most people. They see the potential of that defenseless child snuffed out in a moment. All the moments that that child might have had, all the love they may have shared, all the great things they may have done in their lives, gone as quick as *that*.
How can you be angered by the lost life of a child after it has been born, but not before? What potential does the child of 6 or 7 who is killed by a gunman in Connecticut have that a child killed in the womb does not? Why do you value one over the other?
