Can you give me one piece of evidence that a fetus is not alive? Live, alive or a life? All of those mean different things, what I said was a determination that the fetus was "a life", meaning, something with human rights. You ask for evidence as to whether a fetus is not alive... well, I guess you are correct technically since cells are considered "alive" - are they not? I don't know, so yes perhaps a fetus is alive, but then so are my fingernails and hair and I cut them off routinely. Kitties are alive and we euthanise them legally. But I think you missed my point on the car accident/fetal alcohol syndrome abortion thing. What I am saying is that abortions happen naturally all the time for all kinds of unknown reasons. Some of them happen for known reasons but even then its hard to prove I would guess. Example I have heard stress can cause a miscarriage, that would be hardly negligent wouldn't you say? Also some fetal deformities also result in miscarriages I'm not sure why. So if a woman is in a car accident wearing a seatbelt and has a miscarriage due to stress because she took an illegal wrong term is she liable for the death of that "child"... would it be different if she were not wearing a seatbelt or if someone hit her? The fetal alcohol syndrome and crack baby things are a little different because those are defects in children once they are born... an internesting topic but a little different than what I'm referring to, which is legislation of a natural body function that in many cases one has no control over.
