<<That's exactly the point. That's precisely what EVERY group who creates an okay-to-kill subset of humans says. This sub-set, they clain, ISN'T humanity so it's a stretch to compare them with "real" people, meaning us. You make my point absolutely. It's just that you have advanced to the point where you are (presumably) willing to move the black slaves, and Indians, and homosexuals, and jews, and women, etc, from the "okay to kill freely" category to the "not okay to kill freely" category. You just haven't advanced far enough to move unborn children there yet.>> Look, one can obviously take this too far . There are some who claim we must all be vegetarians as killing animals for food is immoral. Thus.... I find it a stretch to compare minority victims to a fetus with regards to humanity <<You like to call them fetuses to minimize the need to think of them as people.>> The Scribner Bantam English Dictionary ;Fetus; embryo in the uterus or egg after it is clearly defined. LOL... I like to call them fetuses because that's what they are by definition. You OTOH like to call them babies because it suits your political agenda
