So since a fetus is not human life, I assume the following is okay:
A woman has carried a fetus to term and her water breaks. She tells her husband (let's go ahead and assume that she has one for this example, what the hell) that "it's time", and after experiencing a brief panic-induced blackout, he helps her into the car and they drive to the hospital.
During the drive, the husband tries to cut the tension by teasing her about being a Bronco fan. She thinks a moment, and she decides that she doesn't want to bring a baby into a home with a non-Bronco fan. At Main Street, she changes her mind about giving birth and instructs her husband to drive her to an abortion clinic, where the fetus is removed and that's that.
Does anyone have a problem with this scenario? It's not a human life, so?

More demagoguery from the right.
Which is understandable given the fact conservatives predicate their policy positions on dogma and lies, absent any facts, this being one of many examples.
More deflection from the Left. Another dodge.
And guess what? I'm pro choice. But see, not all of us are partisan ideologues like you. Most of us struggle with tough questions, we don't just avoid them because they're difficult. We're willing to be honest and actually think about and answer tough questions. And we're willing to be honest and admit that nothing is simple and black & white.
I can only imagine how crazy that must sound to someone like you.
Sometimes this place is just too easy.

I don't struggle with the tough questions at all.
Here's the thing. I was brought up Catholic, and bought the whole anti-Choice horseshit they drilled into us.
And even after I stopped believing in Sky Pixies, I was still pretty anti-Abortion until the day my ex-boss showed me the true meaning of Christmas.
That's when I realized the Right Wing doesn't really care about abortion or prayer in Schools or any of the other social issues, they just use that to keep people upset and voting against their own economic interests.
So frankly, my attitude is to burn anything the social conservatives give a fuck about. Abortion on demand and you have to make that gay wedding cake or we confiscate your fucking business.
Totally works for me. Screw the religious idiots and what they want, they got us into this mess.
And I don't play the whole, "Well, what if she decides she wants an abortion before the umbilical chord is cut" bullshit you guys try to pull.
