"A Human fetus is less Human than an adult pig?"

That is not what Dawkins said. Try to keep up.

What Dawkins said was: "With respect to those meanings of "human" that are relevant to the morality of abortion, any fetus is less human than an adult pig."

Clearly, he is not referring to their DNA, as that is not relevant to the morality of abortion. Try to keep up.

For instance, nobody mourns a spontaneously aborted (fertilized & human) egg--because who has suffered a loss? People who argue for the inherent right of the woman to choose, do not so argue because a fetus has human dna. Have you ever heard someone say, "Hey I have a right to choose abortion because the fertilized egg I carry has human DNA?" Of course, not. Try to keep up.
