Anti-choicers: this is the fruit of your labour

Your argument doesn't hold water. I suppose when your wife got pregnant you never referred to your baby being inside of her?
He is a person, unless you don't want him then he conveniently becomes something else. A toad perhaps.

Intent makes a difference. You should be able to understand this. If I am writing a long post and show it to someone I will refer to it as "my post" even though it has not been posted yet. Rarely I will start a post and then decide it is better to remain silent. That post is "aborted". And I never even go to that point.

If you want to make an argument you need to use proper terminology. For a pregnant woman that needs an abortion it is simply not a baby yet, That is what she is trying to avoid.

Thanks for finally being a bit honest. For her, because she doesn't want it to be, it can't be thought of as a human child. That's nothing to do with the reality of who he or she is.

It is also factually not a baby. It also not a baby according to the Bible. It is the intent that makes a fetus a "baby" for some.

No, I still have one. I am in favor of minimalizing the trauma of a ten year old that has already gone thought far too much. You appear to be trying to make it even worse.
It's the other 60 million unborn children you can just ignore that bother me. What about their right to experience joy and love?

Four months. That is bad math on the part of CNN:

"Richard was born at a gestational age of 21 weeks 2 days, making him 131 days premature. The standard gestational period for a baby is 40 weeks."

And this was an extreme case.

So how about a reasonable compromise. No elective abortions after 21 weeks.

Oh my!! Every period should be an "unborn child" by your poor definition. All it would have taken was a little bit of sperm and we know that only a tiny fraction of a percentage of sperm ever gets anywhere close to an unfertilized ovum. Clearly that should have been a child.:confused::rolleyes:

I addressed the possible medical issues already. You are not addressing anything I said.
Not to me you didn't and from your posts i believe you are completely ignoring them.

What have you said othere fundamentalist rhetoric?. Though you are ignoring all of my points

It's not a religious issue. It's a moral issue.
It's both.
The problem I see is that for religious folk, they want
to impose their religious proscriptions upon others.
Trump, the anti-abortion crowd's leader, appointed
only Christian fundies to SCOTUS for a reason.
Nons have a broader view of various moral issues
surrounding pregnancy, birth, & bodily autonomy
in general.
