"Humanity of the unborn. Not being wanted is not a sufficient reason to kill someone. I have demonstrated that there is no essential difference between the unborn fetus and a child, in fact it is clear that a fetus can be older and much more developed than a child."

There are some all important differences between an unborn fetus and a child. Some of them are un-discussable in company mixed with moral absolutists vs moral relativists and believers vs non-believers. For example: If you consider ensolement to be an essential characteristic of humanity, then you must determine that the fetus qualifies. It is not possible for the sake of a discussion such as this to do so. A fetus may be scientifically homo-sapien but does it qualify as a person with a soul, and if so at what point? I doubt that we can make a conclusive determination on that.
