Fetuses may or may not be "babies", but they're clearly innocent human life.
I'd be considered "pro-choice", and I can admit THAT.

As George Carlin pointed out, life began 4 billion years ago and is ongoing.
I've said, I would truly like to see there be less abortions. I just don't think the way you get there is by trying to ban abortion, because that doesn't work.
I use two comparions.
One is the Philippines, Catholic country, abortion is mostly illegal, but there are an estimated 500,000 abortion performed every year out of a population of 90 million. Clearly, laws there don't work.
The other is France. Abortion is not only legal, but the government pays for them. But they also pay for child and medical leave, have an extensive social welfare system and they even have government employees who come around after a new birth and help the new family get sorted out as to what is what. They have half as many abortions as we do, per capita.
